This work considers clustering nodes of a largely incomplete graph. Under the problem setting, only a small amount of queries about the edges can be made, but the entire graph is not observable. This problem finds applications in…

Hypergraphs, graph generalizations where edges are conglomerates of $r$ nodes called hyperedges of rank $r\geq 2$, are excellent models to study systems with interactions that are beyond the pairwise level. For hypergraphs, the node degree…

Consider a setting where possibly sensitive information sent over a path in a network is visible to every {neighbor} of the path, i.e., every neighbor of some node on the path, thus including the nodes on the path itself. The exposure of a…

We present a new algorithm for community detection. The algorithm uses random walks to embed the graph in a space of measures, after which a modification of $k$-means in that space is applied. The algorithm is therefore fast and easily…

A canonical problem in graph mining is the detection of dense communities. This problem is exacerbated for a graph with a large order and size -- the number of vertices and edges -- as many community detection algorithms scale poorly. In…
