Farhad Shirani, Siddharth Garg and Elza Erkip
In this paper, the problem of matching pairs of correlated random graphs with multi-valued edge attributes is considered. Graph matching problems of this nature arise in several settings of practical interest including social network deanonymization, study of biological data, web graphs, etc. An achievable region for successful matching is derived by analyzing a new matching algorithm that we refer to as typicality matching. The algorithm operates by investigating the joint typicality of the adjacency matrices of the two correlated graphs.
