IMDB-BINARY

Introduced by Pinar Yanardag et al. in Deep Graph Kernels1 Jan 2015 archive 2025-07-28

IMDB-BINARY is a movie collaboration dataset that consists of the ego-networks of 1,000 actors/actresses who played roles in movies in IMDB. In each graph, nodes represent actors/actress, and there is an edge between them if they appear in the same movie. These graphs are derived from the Action and Romance genres.

30 shown of 48 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 326. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
