We consider the k-disjoint-clique problem. The input is an undirected graph G in which the nodes represent data items, and edges indicate a similarity between the corresponding items. The problem is to find within the graph k disjoint…
Correlation Clustering is an elegant model that captures fundamental graph cut problems such as Min $s-t$ Cut, Multiway Cut, and Multicut, extensively studied in combinatorial optimization. Here, we are given a graph with edges labeled $+$…
We consider the problem of identifying the densest k-node subgraph in a given graph. We write this problem as an instance of rank-constrained cardinality minimization and then relax using the nuclear and 11 norms. Although the original…
Suppose we are given a bipartite graph that admits a perfect matching and an adversary may delete any edge from the graph with the intention of destroying all perfect matchings. We consider the task of adding a minimum cost edge-set to the…
Reciprocal best match graphs (RBMGs) are vertex colored graphs whose vertices represent genes and the colors the species where the genes reside. Edges identify pairs of genes that are most closely related with respect to an underlying…
In Clique Cover, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, the task is to partition the vertices of $G$ into $k$ cliques. Clique Cover on unit ball graphs has a natural interpretation as a clustering problem, where the objective function is the…
The class of graph deletion problems has been extensively studied in theoretical computer science, particularly in the field of parameterized complexity. Recently, a new notion of graph deletion problems was introduced, called deletion to…
Graph clustering is a fundamental technique in data analysis with applications in many different fields. While there is a large body of work on clustering undirected graphs, the problem of clustering directed graphs is much less understood.…
In a graph, a matching cut is an edge cut that is a matching. Matching Cut is the problem of deciding whether or not a given graph has a matching cut, which is known to be NP-complete even when restricted to bipartite graphs. It has been…
Finding dense components in graphs is of great importance in analyzing the structure of networks. Popular and computationally feasible frameworks for discovering dense subgraphs are core and truss decompositions. Recently, Sariyuce et al.…
This paper investigates graph clustering in the planted cluster model in the presence of {\em small clusters}. Traditional results dictate that for an algorithm to provably correctly recover the clusters, {\em all} clusters must be…
This paper considers the problem of clustering a partially observed unweighted graph---i.e., one where for some node pairs we know there is an edge between them, for some others we know there is no edge, and for the remaining we do not know…
The modern science of networks has brought significant advances to our understanding of complex systems. One of the most relevant features of graphs representing real systems is community structure, or clustering, i. e. the organization of…
A relevant, sometimes overlooked, quality criterion for communities in graphs is that they should be well-connected in addition to being edge-dense. Prior work has shown that leading community detection methods can produce poorly-connected…
An $H$-free editing problem asks whether we can edit at most $k$ edges to make a graph contain no induced copy of the fixed graph $H$. We obtain a polynomial kernel for this problem when $H$ is a diamond. The incompressibility dichotomy for…
The NP-hard maximum value preordering problem is both a joint relaxation and a hybrid of the clique partition problem (a clustering problem) and the partial ordering problem. Toward approximate solutions and lower bounds, we introduce a…
Many complex systems and datasets are characterized by multiway interactions of different categories, and can be modeled as edge-colored hypergraphs. We focus on clustering such datasets using the NP-hard edge-colored clustering problem,…
We show that the following problems are NP-complete. 1. Can the vertex set of a graph be partitioned into two sets such that each set induces a perfect graph? 2. Is the difference between the chromatic number and clique number at most $1$…
We consider the selective graph coloring problem, which is a generalization of the classical graph coloring problem. Given a graph together with a partition of its vertex set into clusters, we want to choose exactly one vertex per cluster…
This work aims at improving the quality of structural variant prediction from the mapped reads of a sequenced genome. We suggest a new model based on cluster editing in weighted graphs and introduce a new heuristic algorithm that allows to…
