What does the Web look like? How can we find patterns, communities, outliers, in a social network? Which are the most central nodes in a network? These are the questions that motivate this work. Networks and graphs appear in many diverse settings, for example in social networks, computer-communication networks (intrusion detection, traffic management), protein-protein interaction networks in biology, document-text bipartite graphs in text retrieval, person-account graphs in financial fraud detection, and others. In this work, first we list several surprising patterns that real graphs tend to follow. Then we give a detailed list of generators that try to mirror these patterns. Generators are important, because they can help with "what if" scenarios, extrapolations, and anonymization. Then we provide a list of powerful tools for graph analysis, and specifically spectral methods (Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)), tensors, and case studies like the famous "pageRank" algorithm and the "HITS" algorithm for ranking web search results. Finally, we conclude with a survey of tools and observations from related fields like sociology, which provide complementary viewpoints.

He is the co-inventor in over 20 patents (issued or pending). He has given tutorials in CIKM and KDD, and his interests include graph mining, computational advertising, and web search. Christos Faloutsos is a Professor at Carnegie Mellon University and an ACM Fellow. He has received the Research Contributions Award in ICDM 2006, the SIGKDD Innovations Award (2010), 18 "best paper" awards (including two "test of time" awards), and four teaching awards. He has published over 200 refereed articles, and has given over 30 tutorials. His research interests include data mining for graphs and streams, fractals, and self-similarity, database performance, and indexing for multimedia and bio-informatics data.
