We consider the problem of detecting a community of densely connected vertices in a high-dimensional bipartite graph of size $n_1 \times n_2$. Under the null hypothesis, the observed graph is drawn from a bipartite Erd\H{o}s-Renyi…

We connect two random graph models, the Popularity Adjusted Block Model (PABM) and the Generalized Random Dot Product Graph (GRDPG), by demonstrating that the PABM is a special case of the GRDPG in which communities correspond to mutually…

A sparse stochastic block model (SBM) with two communities is defined by the community probability $\pi_0,\pi_1$, and the connection probability between communities $a,b\in\{0,1\}$, namely $q_{ab} = \frac{\alpha_{ab}}{n}$. When $q_{ab}$ is…

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…
