In a graph bisection problem, we are given a graph $G$ with two equally-sized unlabeled communities, and the goal is to recover the vertices in these communities. A popular heuristic, known as spectral clustering, is to output an estimated…

We study the problem of community detection in hypergraphs under a stochastic block model. Similarly to how the stochastic block model in graphs suggests studying spiked random matrices, our model motivates investigating statistical and…
