Temporal pattern matching is a grand challenge in graph analytics, where analyzing time-based relationships between nodes in large graphs can generate trillions of potential matches and overwhelm traditional methods. Graphscale has developed a dual solution that combines exact mining techniques with smart estimation algorithms, achieving results up to 1000x faster than previous approaches while maintaining high precision for critical applications like fraud detection and cybersecurity.

Detecting fraud in financial networks is like finding a needle in a haystack—except the needle is camouflaged, and the haystack keeps growing. In Anti-Money Laundering (AML) operations, fraudsters use a tactic called layering, moving money through multiple stages to hide its origins and evade detection. These modern fraudsters create complex transaction patterns designed to blend seamlessly with legitimate activity, making the task of detection extraordinarily challenging.

Graphs are the backbone of data representation, modeling everything from social interactions to financial transactions and biological systems. These intricate structures, made up of vertices and edges, represent real-world connections and relationships. Within these networks lie smaller, yet profoundly important, subgraph patterns known as motifs. Unraveling these motifs is key to understanding the complex systems encoded within real-world graphs, making graph pattern matching a cornerstone problem in network science.
