This paper studies community detection for a nonlinear opinion dynamics model from its equilibria. It is assumed that the underlying network is generated from a stochastic block model with two communities, where agents are assigned with…
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…
Analysis of networks and in particular discovering communities within networks has been a focus of recent work in several fields, with applications ranging from citation and friendship networks to food webs and gene regulatory networks.…
Assessing the statistical significance of network patterns is crucial for understanding whether such patterns indicate the presence of interesting network phenomena, or whether they simply result from less interesting processes, such as…
We study the problem of exact community recovery in general, two-community block models, in the presence of node-attributed $side$ $information$. We allow for a very general side information channel for node attributes, and for pairwise…
Credal partitions in the framework of belief functions can give us a better understanding of the analyzed data set. In order to find credal community structure in graph data sets, in this paper, we propose a novel evidential community…
Community structure is a key feature omnipresent in real-world network data. Plethora of methods have been proposed to reveal subsets of densely interconnected nodes using criteria such as the modularity index. These approaches have been…
This paper considers the problem of label recovery in random graphs and matrices. Motivated by transitive behavior in real-world networks (i.e., ``the friend of my friend is my friend''), a recent line of work considers spatially-embedded…
A canonical problem in graph mining is the detection of dense communities. This problem is exacerbated for a graph with a large order and size -- the number of vertices and edges -- as many community detection algorithms scale poorly. In…
A deep community in a graph is a connected component that can only be seen after removal of nodes or edges from the rest of the graph. This paper formulates the problem of detecting deep communities as multi-stage node removal that…
Community recovery is a central problem that arises in a wide variety of applications such as network clustering, motion segmentation, face clustering and protein complex detection. The objective of the problem is to cluster data points…
We analyze the performance of spectral clustering for community extraction in stochastic block models. We show that, under mild conditions, spectral clustering applied to the adjacency matrix of the network can consistently recover hidden…
Community detection is the process of grouping strongly connected nodes in a network. Many community detection methods for un-weighted networks have a theoretical basis in a null model. Communities discovered by these methods therefore have…
The large amount of work on community detection and its applications leaves unaddressed one important question: the statistical validation of the results. In this paper we present a methodology able to clearly detect if the community…
Community detection is a central task in graph analytics. Given the substantial growth in graph size, scalability in community detection continues to be an unresolved challenge. Recently, alongside established methods like Louvain and…
Let $N$ components be partitioned into two communities, denoted ${\cal P}_+$ and ${\cal P}_-$, possibly of different sizes. Assume that they are connected via a directed and weighted Erd\"os-R\'enyi (DWER) random graph with unknown…
We study community detection based on state observations from gossip opinion dynamics over stochastic block models (SBM). It is assumed that a network is generated from a two-community SBM where each agent has a community label and each…
Over the past decade, community detection in overlapping un-weighted networks, where nodes can belong to multiple communities, has been one of the most popular topics in modern network science. However, community detection in overlapping…
We propose a new algorithm to detect the community structure in a network that utilizes both the network structure and vertex attribute data. Suppose we have the network structure together with the vertex attribute data, that is, the…
To capture the inherent geometric features of many community detection problems, we propose to use a new random graph model of communities that we call a Geometric Block Model. The geometric block model generalizes the random geometric…
