We consider the problem of community detection or clustering in the labeled Stochastic Block Model (LSBM) with a finite number $K$ of clusters of sizes linearly growing with the global population of items $n$. Every pair of items is labeled…
Given a finite set of points $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a $k$-set of $S$ is a subset $A \subset S$ of size $k$ which can be strictly separated from $S \setminus A $ by a hyperplane. Similarly, a $k$-facet of a point set $S$ in general position…
A Mendelsohn triple system of order $v$ (or MTS$(v)$) is a decomposition of the complete graph into directed 3-cyles. We denote the directed 3-cycle with edges $(x,y)$, $(y,z)$ and $(z,x)$ by $(x,y,z)$, $(y,z,x)$ or $(z,x,y)$. An…
Partial label learning (PLL) is a significant weakly supervised learning framework, where each training example corresponds to a set of candidate labels and only one label is the ground-truth label. For the first time, this paper…
Inspired by the work of Amdeberhan, Can, and Moll on broken necklaces, we define a broken bracelet as a linear arrangement of marked and unmarked vertices and introduce a generalization called $n$-stars, which is a collection of $n$ broken…
The stochastic block model is a canonical random graph model for clustering and community detection on network-structured data. Decades of extensive study on the problem have established many profound results, among which the phase…
Consider a pair of sparse correlated stochastic block models $\mathcal S(n,\tfrac{\lambda}{n},\epsilon;s)$ subsampled from a common parent stochastic block model with two symmetric communities, average degree $\lambda=O(1)$, divergence…
We consider $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions of $\{1,2,\ldots,mn\}$ with the property that for some $t\leq n$ no block contains more than one of the first $t$ integers. We give a closed formula for the number of multi-chains of such…
Various specifiable combinatorial structures, with d extensive parameters, can be exactly sampled both by the recursive method, with linear arithmetic complexity if a heavy preprocessing is performed, or by the Boltzmann method, with…
Large sets of combinatorial designs has always been a fascinating topic in design theory. These designs form a partition of the whole space into combinatorial designs with the same parameters. In particular, a large set of block designs,…
A subset $B$ of the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is referred to as a $\ell$-covering set if $\{ ab \pmod n | 0\leq a \leq \ell, b\in B\} = \mathbb{Z}_n$. We show that there exists a $\ell$-covering set of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of size $O(\frac{n}{\ell}\log…
In this paper we consider random linear under-determined systems with block-sparse solutions. A standard subvariant of such systems, namely, precisely the same type of systems without additional block structuring requirement, gained a lot…
We give an asymptotic estimate for the number of partitions of a set of $n$ elements, whose block sizes avoid a given set $\mathcal{S}$ of natural numbers. As an application, we derive an estimate for the number of partitions of a set with…
Nested Steiner quadruple systems are designs derived from Steiner quadruple systems (SQSs) by partitioning each block into pairs. A nested SQS is completely uniform if every possible pair appears with equal multiplicity, and completely…
Extreme multi-label classification aims to learn a classifier that annotates an instance with a relevant subset of labels from an extremely large label set. Many existing solutions embed the label matrix to a low-dimensional linear…
An $(n,k)$-Sperner partition system is a set of partitions of some $n$-set such that each partition has $k$ nonempty parts and no part in any partition is a subset of a part in a different partition. The maximum number of partitions in an…
A strong $\ell$-ification of a matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)=\sum A_i\lambda^i$ of degree $d$ is a matrix polynomial $\mathcal{L}(\lambda)$ of degree $\ell$ having the same finite and infinite elementary divisors, and the same numbers of…
The missing item problem, as introduced by Stoeckl in his work at SODA 23, focuses on continually identifying a missing element $e$ in a stream of elements ${e_1, ..., e_{\ell}}$ from the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$, such that $e \neq e_i$ for any…
In this paper, we show that both 12312-avoiding partitions and 12321-avoiding partitions of the set $[n+1]$ are in one-to-one correspondence with Schr\"oder paths of semilength $n$ without peaks at even level. As a consequence, the refined…
We study infinite systems of particles which undergo coalescence and fragmentation, in a manner determined solely by their masses. A pair of particles having masses $x$ and $y$ coalesces at a given rate $K(x,y)$. A particle of mass $x$…
