Community detection emerges as an important task in the discovery of network mesoscopic structures. However, the concept of a "good" community is very context-dependent and it is relatively complicated to deduce community characteristics…

In this paper, we prove a sharp limit on the community detection problem with colored edges. We assume two equal-sized communities and there are $m$ different types of edges. If two vertices are in the same community, the distribution of…
Among community detection methods, spectral clustering enjoys two desirable properties: computational efficiency and theoretical guarantees of consistency. Most studies of spectral clustering consider only the edges of a network as input to…
In network applications, it has become increasingly common to obtain datasets in the form of multiple networks observed on the same set of subjects, where each network is obtained in a related but different experiment condition or…
Let $\mathcal A$ be the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices, and we denote its eigenvalues by $\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2\cdots \geq \lambda_{N}$. For $N^{2/3}\ll d\leq N/2$, we prove optimal rigidity estimates of…
Detection of planted subgraphs in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs has been extensively studied, leading to a rich body of results characterizing both statistical and computational thresholds. However, most prior work assumes a purely random…
