We study the community detection and recovery problem in partially-labeled stochastic block models (SBM). We develop a fast linearized message-passing algorithm to reconstruct labels for SBM (with $n$ nodes, $k$ blocks, $p,q$ intra and…
Stochastic Block Models (SBMs) are a popular approach to modeling single real-world graphs. The key idea of SBMs is to partition the vertices of the graph into blocks with similar edge densities within, as well as between different blocks.…
Identifying edge-dense communities that are also well-connected is an important aspect of understanding community structure. Prior work has shown that community detection methods can produce poorly connected communities, and some can even…

Many inference problems, notably the stochastic block model (SBM) that generates a random graph with a hidden community structure, undergo phase transitions as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio, and can exhibit hard phases in which…
Community detection, discovering the underlying communities within a network from observed connections, is a fundamental problem in network analysis, yet it remains underexplored for signed networks. In signed networks, both edge connection…
Community detection in large social networks is affected by degree heterogeneity of nodes. The D-SCORE algorithm for directed networks was introduced to reduce this effect by taking the element-wise ratios of the singular vectors of the…

A restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) is a two-layer neural network with shared weights and has been extensively studied for dimensionality reduction, data representation and recommendation systems in the literature. The traditional RBM…

Social networks are often associated with rich side information, such as texts and images. While numerous methods have been developed to identify communities from pairwise interactions, they usually ignore such side information. In this…
