Identifying cliques in dense networks remains a formidable challenge, even with significant advances in computational power and methodologies. To tackle this, numerous algorithms have been developed to optimize time and memory usage,…

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…
