""" Graph summarization finds smaller representations of graphs resulting in faster runtime of algorithms, reduced storage needs, and noise reduction. Summarization has applications in areas such as visualization, pattern mining, clustering and community detection, and more. Core graph summarization techniques are grouping/aggregation, bit-compression, simplification/sparsification, and influence based. Graph summarization algorithms often produce either summary graphs in the form of supergraphs or sparsified graphs, or a list of independent structures. Supergraphs are the most common product, which consist of supernodes and original nodes and are connected by edges and superedges, which represent aggregate edges between nodes and supernodes. Grouping/aggregation based techniques compress graphs by representing close/connected nodes and edges in a graph by a single node/edge in a supergraph. Nodes can be grouped together into supernodes based on their structural similarities or proximity within a graph to reduce the total number of nodes in a graph. Edge-grouping techniques group edges into lossy/lossless nodes called compressor or virtual nodes to reduce the total number of edges in a graph. Edge-grouping techniques can be lossless, meaning that they can be used to re-create the original graph, or techniques can be lossy, requiring less space to store the summary graph, but at the expense of lower reconstruction accuracy of the original graph. Bit-compression techniques minimize the amount of information needed to describe the original graph, while revealing structural patterns in the original graph. The two-part minimum description length (MDL) is often used to represent the model and the original graph in terms of the model. A key difference between graph compression and graph summarization is that graph summarization focuses on finding structural patterns within the original graph, whereas graph compression focuses on compressions the original graph to be as small as possible. **NOTE**: Some bit-compression methods exist solely to compress a graph without creating a summary graph or finding comprehensible structural patterns. Simplification/Sparsification techniques attempt to create a sparse representation of a graph by removing unimportant nodes and edges from the graph. Sparsified graphs differ from supergraphs created by grouping/aggregation by only containing a subset of the original nodes and edges of the original graph. Influence based techniques aim to find a high-level description of influence propagation in a large graph. These methods are scarce and have been mostly applied to social graphs. *dedensification* is a grouping/aggregation based technique to compress the neighborhoods around high-degree nodes in unweighted graphs by adding compressor nodes that summarize multiple edges of the same type to high-degree nodes (nodes with a degree greater than a given threshold). Dedensification was developed for the purpose of increasing performance of query processing around high-degree nodes in graph databases and enables direct operations on the compressed graph. The structural patterns surrounding high-degree nodes in the original is preserved while using fewer edges and adding a small number of compressor nodes. The degree of nodes present in the original graph is also preserved. The current implementation of dedensification supports graphs with one edge type.

This function uses the Summarization by Grouping Nodes on Attributes and Pairwise edges (SNAP) algorithm for summarizing a given graph by grouping nodes by node attributes and their edge attributes into supernodes in a summary graph. This name SNAP should not be confused with the Stanford Network Analysis Project (SNAP). Here is a high-level view of how this algorithm works: 1) Group nodes by node attribute values. 2) Iteratively split groups until all nodes in each group have edges to nodes in the same groups. That is, until all the groups are homogeneous in their member nodes' edges to other groups. For example, if all the nodes in group A only have edge to nodes in group B, then the group is homogeneous and does not need to be split. If all nodes in group B have edges with nodes in groups {A, C}, but some also have edges with other nodes in B, then group B is not homogeneous and needs to be split into groups have edges with {A, C} and a group of nodes having edges with {A, B, C}. This way, viewers of the summary graph can assume that all nodes in the group have the exact same node attributes and the exact same edges. 3) Build the output summary graph, where the groups are represented by super-nodes. Edges represent the edges shared between all the nodes in each respective groups. A SNAP summary graph can be used to visualize graphs that are too large to display or visually analyze, or to efficiently identify sets of similar nodes with similar connectivity patterns to other sets of similar nodes based on specified node and/or edge attributes in a graph. Parameters ---------- G: graph Networkx Graph to be summarized node_attributes: iterable, required An iterable of the node attributes used to group nodes in the summarization process. Nodes with the same values for these attributes will be grouped together in the summary graph. edge_attributes: iterable, optional An iterable of the edge attributes considered in the summarization process. If provided, unique combinations of the attribute values found in the graph are used to determine the edge types in the graph. If not provided, all edges are considered to be of the same type. prefix: str The prefix used to denote supernodes in the summary graph. Defaults to 'Supernode-'. supernode_attribute: str The node attribute for recording the supernode groupings of nodes. Defaults to 'group'. superedge_attribute: str The edge attribute for recording the edge types of multiple edges. Defaults to 'types'. Returns ------- networkx.Graph: summary graph Examples -------- SNAP aggregation takes a graph and summarizes it in the context of user-provided node and edge attributes such that a viewer can more easily extract and analyze the information represented by the graph >>> nodes = { ... "A": dict(color="Red"), ... "B": dict(color="Red"), ... "C": dict(color="Red"), ... "D": dict(color="Red"), ... "E": dict(color="Blue"), ... "F": dict(color="Blue"), ... } >>> edges = [ ... ("A", "E", "Strong"), ... ("B", "F", "Strong"), ... ("C", "E", "Weak"), ... ("D", "F", "Weak"), ... ] >>> G = nx.Graph() >>> for node in nodes: ... attributes = nodes[node] ...

G, node_attributes=node_attributes, edge_attributes=edge_attributes ... ) Notes ----- The summary graph produced is called a maximum Attribute-edge compatible (AR-compatible) grouping. According to [1]_, an AR-compatible grouping means that all nodes in each group have the same exact node attribute values and the same exact edges and edge types to one or more nodes in the same groups. The maximal AR-compatible grouping is the grouping with the minimal cardinality. The AR-compatible grouping is the most detailed grouping provided by any of the SNAP algorithms.
