In the planted partition problem, the $n$ vertices of a random graph are partitioned into $k$ "clusters," and edges between vertices in the same cluster and different clusters are included with constant probability $p$ and $q$, respectively…

In this paper we study detection and reconstruction of planted structures in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs. Motivated by a problem of communication security, we focus on planted structures that consist in a tree graph. For planted line…
We study the Order-$k$ ($k \geq 4$) spiked tensor model for the tensor principal component analysis (PCA) problem: given $N$ i.i.d. observations of a $k$-th order tensor generated from the model $\mathbf{T} = \lambda \cdot v_*^{\otimes k} +…

We consider two closely related problems: planted clustering and submatrix localization. The planted clustering problem assumes that a random graph is generated based on some underlying clusters of the nodes; the task is to recover these…
In this paper, we apply the Rank-Sparsity Matrix Decomposition to the planted Maximum Quasi-Clique Problem (MQCP). This problem has the planted Maximum Clique Problem (MCP) as a special case. The maximum clique problem is NP-hard. A…

Given an arbitrary subgraph $H=H_n$ and $p=p_n \in (0,1)$, the planted subgraph model is defined as follows. A statistician observes the union a random copy $H^*$ of $H$, together with random noise in the form of an instance of an…
