Consider a network where the nodes split into $K$ different communities. The community labels for the nodes are unknown and it is of major interest to estimate them (i.e., community detection). Degree Corrected Block Model (DCBM) is a…

The hypergraph community detection problem seeks to identify groups of related nodes in hypergraph data. We propose an information-theoretic hypergraph community detection algorithm which compresses the observed data in terms of community…

Membership diversity is a characteristic aspect of social networks in which a person may belong to more than one social group. For this reason, discovering overlapping structures is necessary for realistic social analysis. In this paper, we…
