We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,1/2) and one is interested in recovering this planted clique. It is widely believed that it exhibits a statistical-computational gap when…
This paper considers the problem of clustering a partially observed unweighted graph---i.e., one where for some node pairs we know there is an edge between them, for some others we know there is no edge, and for the remaining we do not know…
We consider the statistical inference problem of recovering an unknown perfect matching, hidden in a weighted random graph, by exploiting the information arising from the use of two different distributions for the weights on the edges…
In the planted bisection model a random graph $G(n,p_+,p_- )$ with $n$ vertices is created by partitioning the vertices randomly into two classes of equal size (up to $\pm1$). Any two vertices that belong to the same class are linked by an…
We present a local algorithm for finding dense subgraphs of bipartite graphs, according to the definition of density proposed by Kannan and Vinay. Our algorithm takes as input a bipartite graph with a specified starting vertex, and attempts…
The prototypical high-dimensional statistics problem entails finding a structured signal in noise. Many of these problems exhibit an intriguing phenomenon: the amount of data needed by all known computationally efficient algorithms far…
We consider the problem of identifying the densest k-node subgraph in a given graph. We write this problem as an instance of rank-constrained cardinality minimization and then relax using the nuclear and 11 norms. Although the original…
For a class $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, #Sub$(\mathcal{H})$ is the counting problem that, given a graph $H\in \mathcal{H}$ and an arbitrary graph $G$, asks for the number of subgraphs of $G$ isomorphic to $H$. It is known that if $\mathcal{H}$…
In this work, we consider the problem of recovery a planted $k$-densest sub-hypergraph on $d$-uniform hypergraphs. This fundamental problem appears in different contexts, e.g., community detection, average-case complexity, and neuroscience…
The problem of finding dense induced bipartite subgraphs in $H$-free graphs has a long history, and was posed 30 years ago by Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Pach and Spencer. In this paper, we obtain several results in this direction. First we prove…
The use of data-random graphs in statistical testing of spatial patterns is introduced recently. In this approach, a random directed graph is constructed from the data using the relative positions of the points from various classes.…
In many high-dimensional problems, like sparse-PCA, planted clique, or clustering, the best known algorithms with polynomial time complexity fail to reach the statistical performance provably achievable by algorithms free of computational…
We investigate the terminal-pairability problem in the case when the base graph is a complete bipartite graph, and the demand graph is a (not necessarily bipartite) multigraph on the same vertex set. In computer science, this problem is…
We consider the problem of finding an edge in a hidden undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, in a model where we only allowed queries that ask whether or not a subset of vertices contains an edge. We study the non-adaptive model…
In this paper, we consider the maximum $k$-edge-colorable subgraph problem. In this problem we are given a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the goal is to take $k$ matchings of $G$ such that their union contains maximum number of…
We propose a consistent polynomial-time method for the unseeded node matching problem for networks with smooth underlying structures. Despite widely conjectured by the research community that the structured graph matching problem to be…
We determine to within a constant factor the threshold for the property that two random k-uniform hypergraphs with edge probability p have an edge-disjoint packing into the same vertex set. More generally, we allow the hypergraphs to have…
This thesis studies the graph alignment problem, the noisy version of the graph isomorphism problem, which aims to find a matching between the nodes of two graphs which preserves most of the edges. Focusing on the planted version where the…
Multiple methods of finding the vertices belonging to a planted dense subgraph in a random dense $G(n, p)$ graph have been proposed, with an emphasis on planted cliques. Such methods can identify the planted subgraph in polynomial time, but…
Let $B=(X,Y,E)$ be a bipartite graph. A half-square of $B$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. Every planar graph is a half-square of a planar bipartite…
