Centrality has long been studied as a method of identifying node importance in networks. In this paper we study a variant of several walk-based centrality metrics based on the notion of a nonbacktracking walk, where the pattern i→ j → i is forbidden in the walk. Specifically, we focus our analysis on dynamic graphs, where the underlying data stream the network is drawn from is constantly changing. Efficient algorithms for calculating nonbactracking walk centrality scores in static and dynamic graphs are provided and experiments on graphs with several million vertices and edges are conducted. For the static algorithm, comparisons to a traditional linear algebraic method of calculating scores show that our algorithm produces scores of high accuracy within a theoretically guaranteed bound. Comparisons of our dynamic algorithm to the static show speedups of several orders of magnitude as well as a significant reduction in space required.
