Community detection is the problem of identifying community structure in graphs. Often the graph is modeled as a sample from the Stochastic Block Model, in which each vertex belongs to a community. The probability that two vertices are…

We study the effect of the quality and quantity of side information on the recovery of a hidden community of size $K=o(n)$ in a graph of size $n$. Side information for each node in the graph is modeled by a random vector with the following…

The planted bisection model is a random graph model in which the nodes are divided into two equal-sized communities and then edges are added randomly in a way that depends on the community membership. We establish necessary and sufficient…

The recovery of society after a large scale disaster generally consists of two phases, short- and long-term recoveries. The problem of short-term recovery is rather close to the problem of resilience in their goal, namely, bouncing the…

We consider the community recovery problem on a one-dimensional random geometric graph where every node has two independent labels: an observed location label and a hidden community label. A geometric kernel maps the locations of pairs of…
