Stochastic Block Models (SBMs) are a popular approach to modeling single real-world graphs. The key idea of SBMs is to partition the vertices of the graph into blocks with similar edge densities within, as well as between different blocks.…
Semidefinite programs have recently been developed for the problem of community detection, which may be viewed as a special case of the stochastic blockmodel. Here, we develop a semidefinite program that can be tailored to other instances…
