Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) is an extensively studied and widely used method for hierarchical clustering in $\mathbb{R}^k$ based on repeatedly merging the closest pair of clusters according to an input linkage function $d$.…

Hierarchical graph clustering is a common technique to reveal the multi-scale structure of complex networks. We propose a novel metric for assessing the quality of a hierarchical clustering. This metric reflects the ability to reconstruct…

A wide array of random graph models have been postulated to understand properties of observed networks. Typically these models have a parameter $t$ and a critical time $t_c$ when a giant component emerges. It is conjectured that for a large…

We present a framework to define a large class of neural networks for which, by construction, training by gradient flow provably reaches arbitrarily low loss when the number of parameters grows. Distinct from the fixed-space global…

The coexistence of sparsity and clustering (non-vanishing average fraction of triangles per node) is one of the few structural features that, irrespective of finer details, are ubiquitously observed across large real-world networks. This…

Real-world networks, like social networks or the internet infrastructure, have structural properties such as large clustering coefficients that can best be described in terms of an underlying geometry. This is why the focus of the…

We introduce a model for the randomization of complex networks with geometric structure. The geometric randomization (GR) model assumes a homogeneous distribution of the nodes in an underlying similarity space and uses rewirings of the…

Graph symmetries intervene in diverse applications, from enumeration, to graph structure compression, to the discovery of graph dynamics (e.g., node arrival order inference). Whereas Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs are typically asymmetric, real…

We introduce and study systems of randomly coupled maps (RCM) where the relevant parameter is the degree of connectivity in the system. Global (almost-) synchronized states are found (equivalent to the synchronization observed in globally…

How does the shape of a network change as its size increases? Although random graph models provide some expectations for such "scaling behaviors" in the structure of networks, relatively little is known about how empirical network structure…
