| Abstract | The subgraph matching problem arises in a number of modern machine learning applications including segmented images and meshes of 3D objects for pattern recognition, bio-chemical reactions and security applications. This graph-based problem can have a very large and complex solution space especially when the world graph has many more nodes and edges than the template. In a real use-case scenario, analysts may need to query additional information about template nodes or world nodes to reduce the problem size and the solution space. Currently, this query process is done by hand, based on the personal experience of analysts. By analogy to the well-known active learning problem in machine learning classification problems, we present a machine-based active learning problem for the subgraph match problem in which the machine suggests optimal template target nodes that would be most likely to reduce the solution space when it is otherwise overly large and complex. The humans in the loop can then include additional information about those target nodes. We present some case studies for both synthetic and real world datasets for multichannel subgraph matching. |
