A Flexible Framework for Query-Oriented Interactive Community Search
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Community search finds query-dependent communities over graphs, which has been investigated broadly. In this work, we focus on the task of returning only a single connected community containing all user input query vertices. Most existing studies in the literature only propose a single and static model based on a particular subgraph (e.g., k -core, k -truss, quasi-clique, and learning-based component). These fixed models are hard to find exact community answers on all datasets and fit with different underlying desires of users and queries. This implies that the community search task needs human-in-loop interactions , which allows users to give feedback and dynamically advise community refinement. To tackle the above issues, we formulate and study the problem of interactive community search , which allows users to add/delete vertices for improving community answers in a few rounds of interactions. We first summarize dozens of existing community models and develop an integrated notation system M( G, M, O, P ) to describe them all. Then, we propose a flexible approach to interactive community search over graphs called GICS-framework. The successful principle of GICS-framework lies on three key components: personalized adding/deleting recommendation, parameter auto-tuning , and fast partial refinement. We develop efficient algorithms and successfully deploy three community models on our GICS-framework. We further analyze algorithm complexity of GICS-framework by illustrating one instance model in detail. Extensive experiments on ground-truth communities demonstrate that our interaction of GICS-framework improves F1-score accuracy by 22% against state-of-the-art competitors, and gives users real-time responses within one second.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
