US Patent 9787705 Extracting insightful nodes from graphs

Provided is a process, including: obtaining a clustered graph, wherein each of the nodes has a plurality of respective node attributes other than an identifier of the node; obtaining a designation of a given node attribute from among the plurality of node attributes; identifying a first subset of nodes of the graph as having anomalous values of the given node attribute by comparing values of the given node attribute in the first subset to a distribution of the given node attribute; identifying a second subset of nodes of the graph as having representative values of the given node attribute by comparing values of the given node attribute in the second subset to the distribution of the given node attribute; and sending instructions to a client device to display a representation of the graph.
