In this paper, we study community detection when we observe $m$ sparse networks and a high dimensional covariate matrix, all encoding the same community structure among $n$ subjects. In the asymptotic regime where the number of features $p$…
We consider the problem of identifying underlying community-like structures in graphs. Towards this end we study the Stochastic Block Model (SBM) on $k$-clusters: a random model on $n=km$ vertices, partitioned in $k$ equal sized clusters,…
Consider a network where the nodes split into $K$ different communities. The community labels for the nodes are unknown and it is of major interest to estimate them (i.e., community detection). Degree Corrected Block Model (DCBM) is a…
Complex networks often exhibit community structure, with communities corresponding to denser subgraphs in which nodes are closely linked. When modelling systems where interactions extend beyond node pairs to arbitrary numbers of nodes,…
A sparse stochastic block model (SBM) with two communities is defined by the community probability $\pi_0,\pi_1$, and the connection probability between communities $a,b\in\{0,1\}$, namely $q_{ab} = \frac{\alpha_{ab}}{n}$. When $q_{ab}$ is…
We prove an analogue of Alon's spectral gap conjecture for random bipartite, biregular graphs. We use the Ihara-Bass formula to connect the non-backtracking spectrum to that of the adjacency matrix, employing the moment method to show there…

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…
