Graphity: An efficient Graph Model for Retrieving the Top-k News Feeds for users in social networks by Rene Pickhardt.
From the post:
I already said that my first research results have been submitted to SIGMOD conference to the social networks and graph databases track. Time to sum up the results and blog about them.
I created a data model to make retrieval of social news feeds in social networks very efficient. It is able to dynamically retrieve more than 10’000 temporal ordered news feeds per second in social networks with millions of users like Facebook and Twitter by using graph data bases (like neo4j)
10,000 temporally ordered news feeds per second? I can imagine any number of use cases that fit comfortably within those performance numbers!
How about you?
Looking forward to the paper (and source code)!
