We present a novel approximate graph matching algorithm that incorporates seeded data into the graph matching paradigm. Our Joint Optimization of Fidelity and Commensurability (JOFC) algorithm embeds two graphs into a common Euclidean space…

We study graph matching between two correlated networks in the almost fully seeded regime, where all but a vanishing fraction of vertex correspondences are revealed. Concretely, we consider the correlated stochastic block model and assume…
