Impact-Driven Sampling Strategies for Hybrid Attack Graphs

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) have a large input space, with discrete and continuous elements across multiple layers. Hybrid Attack Graph (HAG) provide a flexible and efficient approach to generate attack sequences for a CPS. Analysis and testing of large-scale HAGs are prohibitively costly. We propose a dimension reduction via property-preserving multi-layer graph sampling algorithms. Existing property-preserving graph sampling approaches generate a representative subgraph of an original large-sized graph while preserving the key properties, such as node and edge distribution, clustering coefficients, and betweenness. On the other hand, we propose impact-driven sampling strategies to transform the input data to a lower-dimensional representation while retaining key properties of the data.

Towards Geospatial Knowledge Graph Infused Neuro-Symbolic AI for Remote Sensing Scene Understanding

Deep learning has proven its effectiveness in numerous tasks for remote sensing scene understanding. However there is an increasing interest to explore fusion of domain-specific background information to the deep neural network to further improve its performance. Remote sensing researchers are also working towards developing models that generalize and adapt to multiple applications. Generalization challenges coupled with the scarcity of large corpora of high-quality noise-free labelled data, have together fueled an interest for leveraging background information. Knowledge graphs serve as excellent choice to represent domain-specific information in a structured, standardized and extensible manner. Integrating symbolic knowledge representations in the form of Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) to perform neuro-symbolic reasoning is an emerging research direction promising significant impacts. This vision paper seeks to position ideas and provoke early thoughts toward advancing neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence in the context of geospatial challenges. Specifically, it conceptualizes and elaborates on an architecture for infusing geospatial knowledge from knowledge graph in a deep neural network pipeline. As guiding case studies - land-use land-cover classification, object detection and instance segmentation can benefit from infusing spatio-contextual information with remote sensing imagery. The discussion further reflects on and articulates the challenges and explainable AI opportunities anticipated when scaling and maintaining large-scale geospatial knowledge graphs.

Picasso: Memory-Efficient Graph Coloring Using Palettes With Applications in Quantum Computing

A coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors to vertices such that no two neighboring vertices have the same color. The need for memory-efficient coloring algorithms is motivated by their application in computing clique partitions of graphs arising in quantum computations where the objective is to map a large set of Pauli strings into a compact set of unitaries. We present Picasso, a randomized memory-efficient iterative parallel graph coloring algorithm with theoretical sublinear space guarantees under practical assumptions. The parameters of our algorithm provide a trade-off between coloring quality and resource consumption. To assist the user, we also propose a machine learning model to predict the coloring algorithm’s parameters considering these trade-offs. We provide a sequential and a parallel implementation of the proposed algorithm. We perform an experimental evaluation on a 64-core AMD CPU equipped with 512 GB of memory and an Nvidia A100 GPU with 40GB of memory. For a small dataset where existing coloring algorithms can be executed within the 512 GB memory budget, we show up to 68× memory savings. On massive datasets we demonstrate that GPU-accelerated Picasso can process inputs with 49.5× more Pauli strings (vertex set in our graph) and 2,478× more edges than state-of-the-art parallel approaches.

Combining Structure and Property Values is Essential for Graph-based Learning

Graph mining algorithms that seek to find interesting structure in a graph are compelling for many reasons but may not lead to useful information learned from the data. This position paper explores the current graph mining approaches and suggests why certain algorithms may provide misleading information whereas others may be just what is needed. In particular, algorithms that ignore the rich set of node and edge properties that are prevalent in many real-world graphs are in danger of finding results based on the wrong information.

DeepGraphONet: A Deep Graph Operator Network to Learn and Zero-Shot Transfer the Dynamic Response of Networked Systems

This article develops a deep graph operator network (DeepGraphONet) framework that learns to approximate the dynamics of a complex system (e.g., the power grid or traffic) with an underlying subgraph structure. Here, we build our DeepGraphONet by fusing the ability of graph neural networks to exploit spatially correlated graph information and deep operator networks to approximate the solution operator of dynamical systems. The resulting DeepGraphONet can then predict the dynamics within a given short/medium-term time horizon by observing a finite history of the graph state information. Furthermore, we design our DeepGraphONet to be resolution independent. That is, we do not require the finite history to be collected at the exact/same resolution. In addition, to disseminate the results from a trained DeepGraphONet, we design a zero-shot learning strategy that enables using it on a different subgraph. Finally, empirical results on the transient stability prediction problem of power grids and traffic flow forecasting problem of a vehicular system illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepGraphONet.

Impedance-Aware Graph Convolutional Networks for Voltage Estimation in Active Distribution Networks

Voltage estimation plays a key role in ensuring the effective control and reliability of distribution networks. However, traditional machine learning methods often fail to capture the details of the distribution network’s topology. To overcome this challenge, graph convolutional networks (GCN) have emerged as an alternative. Graph convolutional networks inherently capture the topology of the grid, utilizing correlations to achieve precise voltage estimation. Other machine learning models and conventional GCNs fail to account for the distribution line characteristics found in the real world, limiting their effectiveness. This paper proposes an advanced variant of GCN called the Impedance-Aware Graph Convolutional Network (IA-GCN). The IA-GCN layer incorporates the magnitude of the impedance into the graph convolution mechanism, allowing it to capture topological nuances and provide valuable insights into node interrelationships by considering impedance as an intrinsic dimension. The performance of the IA-GCN layer is then compared with that of GCN and GraphSAGE layers through a surrogate model for voltage estimation. The performance analysis demonstrates that IA-GCN outperforms GCN by reducing the MAE by 87.55% and improving the R-squared value by 98%.

Predicting Band-Gap of Inorganic Materials Using Neuromorphic Graph Learning

Predicting properties of inorganic materials is a heavily researched topic, with several new prediction approaches emerging as competitors. One such competitor is graph neural networks, which leverage the structure of the graph to aid in the prediction process. In this work, we propose integration of neuromorphic computation into the graph neural network pipeline. We call this approach Neuromorphic Graph Learning (NGL). We utilize the NGL approach to leverage evolutionary algorithms and a novel Spike Pipeline for Raster Analysis (SPIRE) for the prediction of band gap in inorganic materials.

BCSR on GPU: A Way Forward Extreme-scale Graph Processing on Accelerator-enabled Frontier Supercomputer

Handling large graphs in a distributed environment requires effective partitioning across processors and efficient management of local partitions. In 2D partitioning, local graphs often become too sparse, making memory-efficient data structures crucial. Using the Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format wastes space, especially for > 83% of vertices with empty edges for the sparse graphs. This study explores bit-CSR (BCSR), a modified CSR representation, on GPUs to reduce memory usage in graph computations. We achieved 16.67% memory savings on a sparse rmat dataset with 268 million vertices and 357 million edges, without performance degradation, supported by both theoretical and experimental storage savings of 33%. However, we observed a 1.7× slowdown in degree lookup times due to bitwise operations on AMD CPUs. This analysis highlights the potential of BCSR on GPUs for improving Graph500 benchmark performance on GPU-accelerated systems, such as the Frontier supercomputer.

IRIS-GNN: Leveraging Graph Neural Networks for Scheduling on Truly Heterogeneous Runtime Systems

The diversity of accelerators in computer systems poses significant challenges for software developers, such as managing vendor-specific compiler toolchains, code fragmentation requiring different kernel implementations, and performance portability issues. To address these, the Intelligent Runtime System (IRIS) was developed. IRIS works across various systems, from smartphones to supercomputers, enabling automatic performance scaling based on available accelerators. It introduces abstract tasks for seamless execution transitions between accelerators while ensuring memory consistency and task dependencies. Although IRIS simplifies system details, optimal dynamic scheduling still requires user input to understand workload structures. To address this, we introduce a new scheduling policy for IRIS, termed IRIS-GNN, which is the first IRIS hybrid policy that operates in conjunction with the dynamic policies. This policy employs a Graph-Neural Network (GNN) to conduct Graph Classification of any task graphs submitted to IRIS. This GNN analyzes the structure and attributes of the task graph, categorizing it as either locality, concurrency, or mixed. This classification subsequently guides the selection of the dynamic policy used by IRIS. We provide a comparison of the performance of IRIS-GNN against the complete spectrum of IRIS’s dynamic policies, assess the overhead introduced by the GNN within this scheduling framework, and ultimately explore its practical application in real-world scenarios.

Graph Sparsification by Approximate matrix Multiplication

Graphs arising in statistical problems, signal processing, large networks, combinatorial optimization, and data analysis are often dense, which causes both computational and storage bottlenecks. One way of sparsifying a weighted graph, while sharing the same vertices as the original graph but reducing the number of edges, is through spectral sparsification. We study this problem through the perspective of RandNLA. Specifically, we utilize randomized matrix multiplication to give a clean and simple analysis of how sampling according to edge weights gives a spectral approximation to graph Laplacians, without requiring spectral information. Through the CR–MM algorithm, we attain a simple and computationally efficient sparsifier whose resulting Laplacian estimate is unbiased and of minimum variance. Here, we define a new notion of additive spectral sparsifiers, which has not been considered in the literature.

Biolink Model: A universal schema for knowledge graphs in clinical, biomedical, and translational science

Abstract Within clinical, biomedical, and translational science, an increasing number of projects are adopting graphs for knowledge representation. Graph‐based data models elucidate the interconnectedness among core biomedical concepts, enable data structures to be easily updated, and support intuitive queries, visualizations, and inference algorithms. However, knowledge discovery across these “knowledge graphs” (KGs) has remained difficult. Data set heterogeneity and complexity; the proliferation of ad hoc data formats; poor compliance with guidelines on findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability; and, in particular, the lack of a universally accepted, open‐access model for standardization across biomedical KGs has left the task of reconciling data sources to downstream consumers. Biolink Model is an open‐source data model that can be used to formalize the relationships between data structures in translational science. It incorporates object‐oriented classification and graph‐oriented features. The core of the model is a set of hierarchical, interconnected classes (or categories) and relationships between them (or predicates) representing biomedical entities such as gene, disease, chemical, anatomic structure, and phenotype. The model provides class and edge attributes and associations that guide how entities should relate to one another. Here, we highlight the need for a standardized data model for KGs, describe Biolink Model, and compare it with other models. We demonstrate the utility of Biolink Model in various initiatives, including the Biomedical Data Translator Consortium and the Monarch Initiative, and show how it has supported easier integration and interoperability of biomedical KGs, bringing together knowledge from multiple sources and helping to realize the goals of translational science.

A Linear-Time Algorithm and Analysis of Graph Relative Hausdorff Distance

Graph similarity metrics serve far-ranging purposes across many domains in data science. As graph datasets grow in size, scientists need comparative tools that capture meaningful differences, yet are lightweight and scalable. Graph Relative Hausdorff (RH) distance is a promising, recently proposed measure for quantifying degree distribution similarity. In spite of recent interest in RH distance, little is known about its properties. Here, we conduct an algorithmic and analytic study of RH distance. In particular, we provide the first linear-time algorithm for computing RH distance, analyze examples of RH distance between families of graphs, and prove several analytic results concerning the range, density, and extremal behavior of RH distance values.

Neuromorphic Graph Algorithms: Extracting Longest Shortest Paths and Minimum Spanning Trees

Neuromorphic computing is poised to become a promising computing paradigm in the post Moore's law era due to its extremely low power usage and inherent parallelism. Traditionally speaking, a majority of the use cases for neuromorphic systems have been in the field of machine learning. In order to expand their usability, it is imperative that neuromorphic systems be used for non-machine learning tasks as well. The structural aspects of neuromorphic systems (i.e., neurons and synapses) are similar to those of graphs (i.e., nodes and edges), However, it is not obvious how graph algorithms would translate to their neuromorphic counterparts. In this work, we propose a preprocessing technique that introduces fractional offsets on the synaptic delays of neuromorphic graphs in order to break ties. This technique, in turn, enables two graph algorithms: longest shortest path extraction and minimum spanning trees.

graphMC: A package for testing the independence of graphs

graphMC consists of an implementation of a set of statistical tests that ensure that a Markov chain in the space of graphs has converged to its stationary distribution. The tests are applicable when the graphs have labelled nodes. The tests are applied to the binary time-series traced out by an edge between two selected nodes. The software fits models of a first-order Markov process and an independent draws from a binary distribution to the time-series and selects one based on the BIC scores of the two models. The package consists of (1) an implementation of a Markov chain driving a graph rewiring process that preserves the joint degree distribution of the graph, (2) implementation of the statistical test mentioned above and (3) two examples that show how the Markov chain infrastructure and the statistical tests can be used.

PuLP/XtraPulp is software for partitioning graphs from several real-world problems. Graphs occur in several places in real world from road networks, social networks and scientific simulations. For efficient parallel processing these graphs have to be partitioned (split) with respect to metrics such as computation and communication costs. Our software allows such partitioning for massive graphs.
