Community detection seeks to recover mesoscopic structure from network data that may be binary, count-valued, signed, directed, weighted, or multilayer. The stochastic block model (SBM) explains such structure by positing a latent partition…

Given a graph $G$, a query node $q$, and an integer $k$, community search (CS) seeks a cohesive subgraph (measured by community models such as $k$-core or $k$-truss) from $G$ that contains $q$. It is difficult for ordinary users with less…

Community detection is the problem of identifying community structure in graphs. Often the graph is modeled as a sample from the Stochastic Block Model, in which each vertex belongs to a community. The probability that two vertices are…
Although the community structure organization is one of the most important characteristics of real-world networks, the traditional network models fail to reproduce the feature. Therefore, the models are useless as benchmark graphs for…
