We study the problem of finding frequent structures in semistructured data (represented as a directed labeled graph). Frequent
structures are graphs that are isomorphic to a large number of subgraphs in the data graph. Frequent structures form building
blocks for visual exploration and data mining of semistructured data.We overcome the inherent computational complexity of
the problem by using a summary data structure to prune the search space and to provide interactive feedback. We present an
experimental study of our methods operating on real datasets. The implementation of our methods is capable of operating on
datasets that are two to three orders of magnitude larger than those described in prior work.
