This paper studies batch processing of core maintenance in hypergraph streams. We focus on updating the coreness of each vertex after the hypergraph evolves. Unlike existing works that mainly focus on exact coreness updates for the single hyperedge dynamic or approximate update, we propose the first known batch processing algorithms for exact core maintenance with insertions or deletions of multiple hyperedges. By proposing a hyperedge structure Joint Hyperedge Set, we tackle the challenges of quantifying the range of coreness change and finding potential vertices whose coreness may update. In addition, we accelerate coreness updates even further by finding structures that enable parallel execution. Extensive experiments illustrate the efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness of our batch core maintenance algorithms on real-world hypergraphs. It shows that our algorithms can be faster than the single hyperedge processing approaches by a factor of nearly half the number of hyperedges processed, and our parallel algorithms achieve linear acceleration with the increasing number of threads.

Hypergraphs are instrumental in modeling complex relational systems that encompass a wide spectrum of high-order interactions among components. One prevalent analysis task is the properties estimation of large-scale hypergraphs, which involves selecting a subset of nodes and hyperedges while preserving the characteristics of the entire hypergraph. This paper aims to sample hypergraphs via random walks and is the first to perform unbiased random walks for sampling of nodes and hyperedges simultaneously in large-scale hypergraphs to the best of our knowledge. Initially, we analyze the stationary distributions of nodes and hyperedges for the simple random walk, and show that there is a high bias in both nodes and hyperedges. Subsequently, to eliminate the high bias of the simple random walk, we propose unbiased random walk strategies for nodes and hyperedges, respectively. Finally, a single joint walk schema is developed for sampling nodes and hyperedges simultaneously. To accelerate the convergence process, we employ delayed acceptance and history-aware techniques to assist our algorithm in achieving fast convergence. Extensive experimental results validate our theoretical findings, and the unbiased sampling algorithms for nodes and hyperedges have their complex hypergraph scenarios for which they are applicable. The joint random walk algorithm balanced the sampling applicable to both nodes and hyperedges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
