            Graph Mining Approaches: From Main Memory to Map/Reduce
                
                
                    Practitioners and professionals requiring up-to-date information on latest trends in newer forms of
                    mining paradigms and how to apply these techniques for various applications, such as dealing with
                    very large graph sizes, partitioning techniques, graph query answering etc. will benefit from this
                    tutorial. The presenter has been working for over a decade on graph mining, scalability issues of
                    graph mining, and its applications. Although graph mining itself has been around for a long while,
                    it has come to the forefront due to its ability to make a difference in such domains as fraud
                    monitoring and more recently analyzing very large social networks. Conventional mining techniques
                    do not lend themselves to some of these applications as they cannot represent inherent structural
                    relationships and exploit them during mining. We will present several graph mining approaches that
                    have been proposed in the literature and new ones that are being developed. Practitioners will
                    benefit from the practical nature of the topics and find the solutions presented applicable to
                    problems they have encountered. Researchers will benefit from the issues that need to be addressed
                    in one of the hot areas currently being revolutionized by increasing amounts of information
                    available using large computing farms.
