Consider the following asynchronous, opportunistic communication model over a graph $G$: in each round, one edge is activated uniformly and independently at random and (only) its two endpoints can exchange messages and perform local…

The stochastic block model (SBM) is widely studied as a benchmark for graph clustering aka community detection. In practice, graph data often come with node attributes that bear additional information about the communities. Previous works…
