To capture the inherent geometric features of many community detection problems, we propose to use a new random graph model of communities that we call a Geometric Block Model. The geometric block model builds on the random geometric graphs…

For two unlabeled graphs $G_1,G_2$ independently sub-sampled from an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph $\mathbf G(n,p)$ by keeping each edge with probability $s$, we aim to recover \emph{as many as possible} of the corresponding vertex pairs. We…
