The problem of community detection in networks is usually formulated as finding a single partition of the network into some "correct" number of communities. We argue that it is more interpretable and in some regimes more accurate to…

This paper is motivated by the reconstruction problem on the sparse stochastic block model. Mossel, et. al. proved that a reconstruction algorithm that recovers an optimal fraction of the communities in the symmetric, 2-community case. The…
