Projects

Sampling Large Graphs

January 2018 - June 2018

Analysis of large and dense networks is challenging because of the associated computational expense. Focusing on smaller and dense areas of the network is often preferred due to reasons like reduced computation in terms of both time and memory and better insights.
Created a Graph Sampling python package containing various techniques which samples the original graph according to the sizes.
