Clustering is an important technique for identifying structural information in large-scale data analysis, where the underlying dataset may be too large to store. In many applications, recent data can provide more accurate information and…
In this paper, we exploit the theory of dense graph limits to provide a new framework to study the stability of graph partitioning methods, which we call structural consistency. Both stability under perturbation as well as asymptotic…
Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…
Motivated by modern applications in which one constructs graphical models based on a very large number of features, this paper introduces a new class of cluster-based graphical models, in which variable clustering is applied as an initial…
The defect morphology is an essential aspect of the evolution of crystals' microstructure and its response to stress. Existing methods either only report defect concentration or characterize only some of the defect morphologies. The need…
In high-dimensional graph learning problems, some topological properties of the graph, such as bounded node degree or tree structure, are typically assumed to hold so that the sample complexity of recovering the graph structure can be…
We study the problem of partitioning the edge set of the complete graph into bipartite subgraphs under certain constraints defined by forbidden subgraphs. These constraints lead to both classical problems, such as partitioning into…
In a recent work (ECCC, TR18-171, 2018), we introduced models of testing graph properties in which, in addition to answers to the usual graph-queries, the tester obtains {\em random vertices drawn according to an arbitrary distribution…
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $\mathrm{STAB}_k(G)$ be the convex hull of characteristic vectors of its independent sets of size at most $k$. We study extension complexity of $\mathrm{STAB}_k(G)$ with respect to a fixed parameter…
We study the efficient learnability of high-dimensional Gaussian mixtures in the outlier-robust setting, where a small constant fraction of the data is adversarially corrupted. We resolve the polynomial learnability of this problem when the…
Performance bounds are given for exploratory co-clustering/ blockmodeling of bipartite graph data, where we assume the rows and columns of the data matrix are samples from an arbitrary population. This is equivalent to assuming that the…
A directed acyclic graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be $(e,d)$-depth robust if for every subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| \leq e$ nodes the graph $G-S$ still contains a directed path of length $d$. If the graph is $(e,d)$-depth-robust for any $e,d$…
Degree-based graph construction is an ubiquitous problem in network modeling, ranging from social sciences to chemical compounds and biochemical reaction networks in the cell. This problem includes existence, enumeration, exhaustive…
Graph clustering (or community detection) has long drawn enormous attention from the research on web mining and information networks. Recent literature on this topic has reached a consensus that node contents and link structures should be…
Spectral clustering is popular among practitioners and theoreticians alike. While performance guarantees for spectral clustering are well understood, recent studies have focused on enforcing ``fairness'' in clusters, requiring them to be…
We study the problem of testing $C_k$-freeness ($k$-cycle-freeness) for fixed constant $k > 3$ in graphs with bounded arboricity (but unbounded degrees). In particular, we are interested in one-sided error algorithms, so that they must…
Decomposing a graph into a hierarchical structure via $k$-core analysis is a standard operation in any modern graph-mining toolkit. $k$-core decomposition is a simple and efficient method that allows to analyze a graph beyond its mere…
Learning causal relations from observational data is a fundamental problem with wide-ranging applications across many fields. Constraint-based methods infer the underlying causal structure by performing conditional independence tests.…
Parameter testing algorithms are using constant number of queries to estimate the value of a certain parameter of a very large finite graph. It is well-known that graph parameters such as the independence ratio or the edit-distance from…
This paper studies algorithmic meta theorems for property testing with \emph{constant running time} in the bounded degree model. In (Adler, Harwath 2018) it was shown that on graph classes $\mathcal C^{w}_d$ consisting of all graphs with…
