We consider the community detection problem in sparse random hypergraphs under the non-uniform hypergraph stochastic block model (HSBM), a general model of random networks with community structure and higher-order interactions. When the…

We consider the exact recovery problem in the hypergraph stochastic block model (HSBM) with $k$ blocks of equal size. More precisely, we consider a random $d$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices partitioned into $k$ clusters of size $s…

We study the problem of detecting or recovering a planted ranked subgraph from a directed graph, an analog for directed graphs of the well-studied planted dense subgraph model. We suppose that, among a set of $n$ items, there is a subset…

Let $G$ be a graph with $m$ edges and let $\mathrm{mc}(G)$ denote the size of a largest cut of $G$. The difference $\mathrm{mc}(G)-m/2$ is called the surplus $\mathrm{sp}(G)$ of $G$. A fundamental problem in MaxCut is to determine…

Finding densely connected subsets of vertices in an unsupervised setting, called clustering or community detection, is one of the fundamental problems in network science. The edge clustering approach instead detects communities by…

New phase transition phenomena have recently been discovered for the stochastic block model, for the special case of two non-overlapping symmetric communities. This gives raise in particular to new algorithmic challenges driven by the…

Community detection refers to finding densely connected groups of nodes in graphs. In important applications, such as cluster analysis and network modelling, the graph is sparse but outliers and heavy-tailed noise may obscure its structure.…

We consider the problem of clustering a graph $G$ into two communities by observing a subset of the vertex correlations. Specifically, we consider the inverse problem with observed variables $Y=B_G x \oplus Z$, where $B_G$ is the incidence…

We study the problem of community detection in a random hypergraph model which we call the stochastic block model for $k$-uniform hypergraphs ($k$-SBM). We investigate the exact recovery problem in $k$-SBM and show that a sharp phase…

We study the problem of finding large cuts in $d$-regular triangle-free graphs. In prior work, Shearer (1992) gives a randomised algorithm that finds a cut of expected size $(1/2 + 0.177/\sqrt{d})m$, where $m$ is the number of edges. We…
