buhito

buhito is a Python library for enumerating graphlets and analyzing graphlet-based features from graphs.

Installation

With pip

git clone https://github.com/lanl/buhito.git
cd buhito
pip install -e .

With conda

git clone https://github.com/lanl/buhito.git
cd buhito

if creating a new conda environment:

conda env create -n buhito --file env.yml

if installing into an existing conda environment:

conda env update -n <ENV_NAME> -f env.yml

pip install -e .

Quick Start

Enumerate graphlets with BFS

import networkx as nx
from buhito import generate_subgraphs_breadthwise

G = nx.petersen_graph()

nx.set_node_attributes(G, {n: "C" for n in G.nodes}, "atom_key")
nx.set_edge_attributes(G, {e: "1" for e in G.edges}, "bond_key")

fp, bitinfo = generate_subgraphs_breadthwise(
    G,
    depth=4,
    return_nodewise=False,
    full_hash=True,
    node_key="atom_key",
    edge_key="bond_key"
)

print("Graphlet fingerprint length:", len(fp))

Enumerate graphlets with DFS

from buhito import generate_subgraphs_depthwise

subsets, counts = generate_subgraphs_depthwise(G, maxlen=4)
print("Found graphlet subsets:", len(subsets))
