A popular approach to semi-supervised learning proceeds by endowing the input data with a graph structure in order to extract geometric information and incorporate it into a Bayesian framework. We introduce new theory that gives appropriate…

Learning low-dimensional representations on graphs has proved to be effective in various downstream tasks. However, noises prevail in real-world networks, which compromise networks to a large extent in that edges in networks propagate…

A relation between sigma-additivity and linearizability, conjectured by Jacob Feldman in 1971 for continuous products of probability spaces, is established by relating both notions to a recent idea of noise stability/sensitivity.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown their great ability in modeling graph structured data. However, real-world graphs usually contain structure noises and have limited labeled nodes. The performance of GNNs would drop significantly when…

Random walks cannot, in general, be pushed forward by quasi-isometries. Tame Markov chains were introduced as a `quasi-isometry invariant' are a generalization of random walks. In this paper, we construct several examples of tame Markov…

We introduce weighted Markovian graphs, a random walk model that decouples the transition dynamics of a Markov chain from (random) edge weights representing the cost of traversing each edge. This decoupling allows us to study the…

A Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ is said to be noise sensitive if inserting a small random error in its argument makes the value of the function almost unpredictable. Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm showed that if the sum of…
