The structure of many financial networks is protected by privacy and has to be inferred from aggregate observables. Here we consider one of the most successful network reconstruction methods, producing random graphs with desired link…
This paper considers the problem of label recovery in random graphs and matrices. Motivated by transitive behavior in real-world networks (i.e., ``the friend of my friend is my friend''), a recent line of work considers spatially-embedded…
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 $|V_2| \gg |V_1|$,…
This paper studies the problem of recovering the hidden vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs. We focus on the Gaussian model where the two graphs are complete graphs with correlated Gaussian weights and the…
The low-degree polynomial framework has emerged as a powerful tool for providing evidence of statistical-computational gaps in high-dimensional inference. For detection problems, the standard approach bounds the low-degree advantage through…
Decelle et al.\cite{Decelle11} conjectured the existence of a sharp threshold for community detection in sparse random graphs drawn from the stochastic block model. Mossel et al.\cite{Mossel12} established the negative part of the…
We study the problem of exact support recovery for high-dimensional sparse linear regression under independent Gaussian design when the signals are weak, rare, and possibly heterogeneous. Under a suitable scaling of the sample size and…
Revealing underlying relations between nodes in a network is one of the most important tasks in network analysis. Using tools and techniques from a variety of disciplines, many community recovery methods have been developed for different…
We study graph matching between two correlated networks in the almost fully seeded regime, where all but a vanishing fraction of vertex correspondences are revealed. Concretely, we consider the correlated stochastic block model and assume…
The stochastic block model is widely used to generate graphs with a community structure, but no simple alternative currently exists for hypergraphs, in which more than two nodes can be connected together through a hyperedge. We discuss here…
Identifying edge-dense communities that are also well-connected is an important aspect of understanding community structure. Prior work has shown that community detection methods can produce poorly connected communities, and some can even…
Hypergraphs, describing networks where interactions take place among any number of units, are a natural tool to model many real-world social and biological systems. In this work we propose a principled framework to model the organization of…
Hypergraphs, capable of representing high-order interactions via hyperedges, have become a powerful tool for modeling real-world biological and social systems. Inherent relationships within these real-world systems, such as the encoding…
Motivated by applications such as discovering strong ties in social networks and assembling genome subsequences in biology, we study the problem of recovering a hidden $2k$-nearest neighbor (NN) graph in an $n$-vertex complete graph, whose…
Stochastic block models (SBMs) are often used to find assortative community structures in networks, such that the probability of connections within communities is higher than in between communities. However, classic SBMs are not limited to…
In a sparse stochastic block model with two communities of unequal sizes we derive two posterior concentration inequalities, that imply (1) posterior (almost-)exact recovery of the community structure under sparsity bounds comparable to…
There is a recent surge of interest in identifying the sharp recovery thresholds for cluster recovery under the stochastic block model. In this paper, we address the more refined question of how many vertices that will be misclassified on…
Linear sketching and recovery of sparse vectors with randomly constructed sparse matrices has numerous applications in several areas, including compressive sensing, data stream computing, graph sketching, and combinatorial group testing.…
Network-based clustering methods frequently require the number of communities to be specified \emph{a priori}. Moreover, most of the existing methods for estimating the number of communities assume the number of communities to be fixed and…
We study the two inference problems of detecting and recovering an isolated community of \emph{general} structure planted in a random graph. The detection problem is formalized as a hypothesis testing problem, where under the null…
