Spectral clustering is a widely used method for community detection in networks. We focus on a semi-supervised community detection scenario in the Partially Labeled Stochastic Block Model (PL-SBM) with two balanced communities, where a…

We consider the problem of community detection from the joint observation of a high-dimensional covariate matrix and $L$ sparse networks, all encoding noisy, partial information about the latent community labels of $n$ subjects. In the…

We consider the problem of community detection in the Stochastic Block Model with a finite number $K$ of communities of sizes linearly growing with the network size $n$. This model consists in a random graph such that each pair of vertices…

Community detection for large networks poses challenges due to the high computational cost as well as heterogeneous community structures. In this paper, we consider widely existing real-world networks with ``grouped communities'' (or ``the…

Statistical node clustering in discrete time dynamic networks is an emerging field that raises many challenges. Here, we explore statistical properties and frequentist inference in a model that combines a stochastic block model (SBM) for…

We consider graphs with two communities and analyze an algorithm for learning the community labels when the edges of the graph and only a small fraction of the labels are known in advance. The algorithm is based on the Glauber dynamics for…

Blockmodels are a foundational tool for modeling community structure in networks, with the stochastic blockmodel (SBM), degree-corrected blockmodel (DCBM), and popularity-adjusted blockmodel (PABM) forming a natural hierarchy of increasing…

Recently network analysis has gained more and more attentions in statistics, as well as in computer science, probability, and applied mathematics. Community detection for the stochastic block model (SBM) is probably the most studied topic…

Stochastic block models (SBMs) are often used to find assortative community structures in networks, such that the probability of connections within communities is higher than in between communities. However, classic SBMs are not limited to…

Stochastic Block Models (SBMs) are a fundamental tool for community detection in network analysis. But little theoretical work exists on the statistical performance of Bayesian SBMs, especially when the community count is unknown. This…

We study the problem of community detection in a random hypergraph model which we call the stochastic block model for $k$-uniform hypergraphs ($k$-SBM). We investigate the exact recovery problem in $k$-SBM and show that a sharp phase…

Community detection is the problem of identifying dense communities in networks. Motivated by transitive behavior in social networks ("thy friend is my friend"), an emerging line of work considers spatially-embedded networks, which…

We study the problem of exact community recovery in the Geometric Stochastic Block Model (GSBM), where each vertex has an unknown community label as well as a known position, generated according to a Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$.…

We consider the community recovery problem on a one-dimensional random geometric graph where every node has two independent labels: an observed location label and a hidden community label. A geometric kernel maps the locations of pairs of…

The stochastic block model is one of the most studied network models for community detection. It is well-known that most algorithms proposed for fitting the stochastic block model likelihood function cannot scale to large-scale networks.…

The goal of community detection over graphs is to recover underlying labels/attributes of users (e.g., political affiliation) given the connectivity between users (represented by adjacency matrix of a graph). There has been significant…
