MAGE - Memgraph Advanced Graph Extensions 🔮

Memgraph Advanced Graph Extensions, MAGE to friends, is an open-source repository that contains graph algorithms and modules written by the team behind Memgraph and its users in the form of query modules. The project aims to give everyone the tools they need to tackle the most interesting and challenging graph analytics problems.

Query module is a concept introduced by Memgraph and it refers to user-defined procedures, grouped into modules that extend the Cypher query language. Procedures are implementations of various algorithms in multiple programming languages and they are all runnable inside Memgraph.

Quick start

Start utilizing the power of MAGE with these simple steps.

1. Install MAGE

If you are using Memgraph Platform and starting Memgraph with the memgraph-platform image, MAGE is already included and you can proceed to step 2 or 3.

Install MAGE using a prepared image from the Docker Hub or by building a Docker image from the official MAGE GitHub repository. On Linux, you can also install MAGE from source but be aware you will also need to install additional dependencies.

2. Load query modules

To use certain procedures, first, you need to load the query modules to the appropriate directory.

3. Call procedures

You are ready to call procedures within queries and tackle that graph analytics problem that's been keeping you awake.

Traditional graph algorithms

AlgorithmsLangDescription
betweenness_centralityC++The betweenness centrality of a node is defined as the sum of the of all-pairs shortest paths that run through the node, divided by the number of all-pairs shortest paths in the graph. The algorithm has O(nm) time complexity.
biconnected_componentsC++Algorithm for calculating maximal biconnected subgraph. A biconnected subgraph is a subgraph with a property that if any vertex were to be removed, the graph will remain connected.
bipartite_matchingC++Algorithm for calculating maximum bipartite matching, where matching is a set of nodes chosen in such a way that no two edges share an endpoint.
bridgesC++A bridge is an edge, which when deleted, increases the number of connected components. The goal of this algorithm is to detect edges that are bridges in a graph.
community_detectionC++The Louvain method for community detection is a greedy method for finding communities with maximum modularity in a graph. Runs in O(nlogn) time.
cyclesC++Algorithm for detecting cycles on graphs.
distance_calculatorC++Module for finding the geographical distance between two points defined with 'lng' and 'lat' coordinates.
degree_centralityC++The basic measurement of centrality that refers to the number of edges adjacent to a node.
graph_coloringPythonAlgorithm for assigning labels to the graph elements subject to certain constraints. In this form, it is a way of coloring the graph vertices such that no two adjacent vertices are of the same color.
katz_centralityC++Katz centrality is a centrality measurement that outputs a node's influence based on the number of shortest paths and their weighted length.
kmeansPythonAn algorithm for clustering given data.
max_flowPythonAn algorithm for finding a flow through a graph such that it is the maximum possible flow.
node_similarityC++A module that contains similarity measures for calculating the similarity between two nodes.
pagerankC++Algorithm that yields the influence measurement based on the recursive information about the connected nodes influence.
set_coverPythonAn algorithm for finding the minimum cost subcollection of sets that covers all elements of a universe.
tspPythonAn algorithm for finding the shortest possible route that visits each vertex exactly once.
union_findPythonA module with an algorithm that enables the user to check whether the given nodes belong to the same connected component.
vrpPythonAlgorithm for finding the shortest route possible between the central depot and places to be visited. The algorithm can be solved with multiple vehicles that represent a visiting fleet.
weakly_connected_componentsC++A module that finds weakly connected components in a graph.
