In the high dimensional Stochastic Blockmodel for a random network, the number of clusters (or blocks) K grows with the number of nodes N. Two previous studies have examined the statistical estimation performance of spectral clustering and…
Spectroscopically measuring low levels of non-equilibrium phenomena (e.g. emission in the presence of a large thermal background) can be problematic due to an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio. An approach is presented to use time-series…
Spectral clustering has been one of the widely used methods for community detection in networks. However, large-scale networks bring computational challenges to the eigenvalue decomposition therein. In this paper, we study the spectral…
We define a graph to be $S$-regular if it contains an equitable partition given by a matrix $S$. These graphs are generalizations of both regular and bipartite, biregular graphs. An $S$-regular matrix is defined then as a matrix on an…
We study subgraphs of Paley graphs of prime order $p$ induced on the sets of vertices extending a given independent set of size $a$ to a larger independent set. Using a sufficient condition proved in the author's recent companion work, we…
Spectral clustering is one of the most popular algorithms for community detection in network analysis. Based on this rationale, in this paper we give the convergence rate of eigenvectors for the adjacency matrix in the $l_\infty$ norm,…
Social networks are often associated with rich side information, such as texts and images. While numerous methods have been developed to identify communities from pairwise interactions, they usually ignore such side information. In this…
We present a general scheme for treating particle beams as many particle systems. This includes the full counting statistics and the requirements of Bose/Fermi symmetry. In the stationary limit, i.e., for longer and longer beams, the total…
Stochastic Block Models (SBMs) are a fundamental tool for community detection in network analysis. But little theoretical work exists on the statistical performance of Bayesian SBMs, especially when the community count is unknown. This…

We extend the latent position random graph model to the line graph of a random graph, which is formed by creating a vertex for each edge in the original random graph, and connecting each pair of edges incident to a common vertex in the…
In this paper we continue to rigorously establish the predictions in ground breaking work in statistical physics by Decelle, Krzakala, Moore, Zdeborov\'a (2011) regarding the block model, in particular in the case of $q=3$ and $q=4$…
Community detection is considered for a stochastic block model graph of n vertices, with K vertices in the planted community, edge probability p for pairs of vertices both in the community, and edge probability q for other pairs of…
It has been shown in recent years that the stochastic block model (SBM) is sometimes undetectable in the sparse limit, i.e., that no algorithm can identify a partition correlated with the partition used to generate an instance, if the…
We study community detection in the \emph{symmetric $k$-stochastic block model}, where $n$ nodes are evenly partitioned into $k$ clusters with intra- and inter-cluster connection probabilities $p$ and $q$, respectively. Our main result is a…
The statistical inference of stochastic block models as emerged as a mathematicaly principled method for identifying communities inside networks. Its objective is to find the node partition and the block-to-block adjacency matrix of maximum…
The stochastic blockmodel (SBM) models the connectivity within and between disjoint subsets of nodes in networks. Prior work demonstrated that the rows of an SBM's adjacency spectral embedding (ASE) and Laplacian spectral embedding (LSE)…

We consider a bipartite stochastic block model on vertex sets $V_1$ and $V_2$, with planted partitions in each, and ask at what densities efficient algorithms can recover the partition of the smaller vertex set. When $|V_2| \gg |V_1|$,…
Inference for the stochastic blockmodel is currently of burgeoning interest in the statistical community, as well as in various application domains as diverse as social networks, citation networks, brain connectivity networks…
