UM Data Science Research Seminar with TuE
The UM Data Science Research Seminar Series consists of monthly sessions organized by the Institute of Data Science, in collaboration with another department, faculty, or institute at Maastricht University. These collaborations aim to bring together scientists from all over UM to discuss breakthroughs and research topics related to Data Science. The upcoming seminar will feature researchers from the Data and AI Cluster (DAIC) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TuE).
All events are in-person and free of charge. We also offer participants a free lunch.

Subject: "Everything you wanted to know about querying graphs but were afraid to ask"
Abstract: Graph data models have emerged as a fundamental paradigm for representing and analyzing interconnected data across diverse domains including social networks, biological systems, knowledge graphs, and transportation infrastructures. Despite their ubiquity and importance, the complexity of graph query languages and processing techniques often presents significant barriers to both researchers and practitioners.This talk provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of graph querying, addressing the key challenges that arise throughout the query lifecycle—from initial formulation through optimization to efficient execution. We examine the theoretical foundations underlying modern graph query languages, explore the computational complexity of common graph patterns, and discuss practical strategies for query optimization in real-world systems.This presentation aims to equip attendees with both conceptual understanding and practical insights, making graph querying accessible to those hesitant to explore this rich and rapidly evolving field.
