About

Hello! I’m a first-year Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science, Beijing Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Rong-Hua Li. Before starting my Ph.D., I obtained a BSc degree in the School of Mathematics from Beijing Institute of Technology. My current research focuses on spectral graph algorithms​ and sublinear graph algorithms. I’m also broadly interested in combinatorics and theoretical computer science.

Always welcome to new collaborations and chats՞˶・֊・˶՞

Theoretically and Practically Efficient Resistance Distance Computation on Large Graphs

Yichun Yang, Longlong Lin, Rong-Hua Li, Meihao Liao, Guoren Wang

VLDB

We study the problem of computing single-pair Effective Resistance (also known as Resistance Distance) on undirected graphs. We proposes an local algorithm that converges faster than the $kappa^3$ bound, which achieves significant improvements on real-world networks with large condition numbers, such as road networks.

Improved Algorithms for Effective Resistance Computation on Graphs

Yichun Yang, Ronghua Li, Meihao Liao, Guoren Wang

COLT

We study the problem of computing Effective Resistance on undirected expander graphs. We propose faster algorithms and provide lower bounds for this problem.
