It has been shown that community detection algorithms work better for clustering tasks than other, more popular methods, such as k-means. In fact, network analysis based methods often outperform more widely used methods and do not suffer…

Clustering the nodes of a graph allows the analysis of the topology of a network. The stochastic block model is a clustering method based on a probabilistic model. Initially developed for binary networks it has recently been extended to…

Graph clustering is a fundamental computational problem with a number of applications in algorithm design, machine learning, data mining, and analysis of social networks. Over the past decades, researchers have proposed a number of…

We use the linear threshold model to study the diffusion of information on a network generated by the stochastic block model. We focus our analysis on a two community structure where the initial set of informed nodes lies only in one of the…

Network clustering tackles the problem of identifying sets of nodes (communities) that have similar connection patterns. However, in many scenarios, nodes also have attributes that are correlated with the clustering structure. Thus, network…

This paper provides a selective review of the statistical network analysis literature focused on clustering and inference problems for stochastic blockmodels and their variants. We survey asymptotic normality results for stochastic…

Spectral clustering is a widely used algorithm to find clusters in networks. Several researchers have studied the stability of spectral clustering under local differential privacy with the additional assumption that the underlying networks…

We give upper and lower bounds on the information-theoretic threshold for community detection in the stochastic block model. Specifically, let $k$ be the number of groups, $d$ be the average degree, the probability of edges between vertices…

While clustering is ubiquitously used across science and industry, uncertainty in cluster assignments is rarely quantified with rigorous guarantees. We propose a novel conformal inference framework for clustering that returns confidence…

The stochastic block model is one of the most studied network models for community detection. It is well-known that most algorithms proposed for fitting the stochastic block model likelihood function cannot scale to large-scale networks.…

Spectral clustering has been one of the widely used methods for community detection in networks. However, large-scale networks bring computational challenges to the eigenvalue decomposition therein. In this paper, we study the spectral…

In this paper we propose a measure of clustering quality or accuracy that is appropriate in situations where it is desirable to evaluate a clustering algorithm by somehow comparing the clusters it produces with ``ground truth' consisting of…

The structure of many complex networks includes edge directionality and weights on top of their topology. Network analysis that can seamlessly consider combination of these properties are desirable. In this paper, we study two important…

Graph clustering is a fundamental task in unsupervised learning with broad real-world applications. While spectral clustering methods for undirected graphs are well-established and guided by a minimum cut optimization consensus, their…

In Stochastic blockmodels, which are among the most prominent statistical models for cluster analysis of complex networks, clusters are defined as groups of nodes with statistically similar link probabilities within and between groups. A…

Communities are a common and widely studied structure in networks, typically under the assumption that the network is fully and correctly observed. In practice, network data are often collected by querying nodes about their connections. In…

This article establishes the performance of stochastic blockmodels in addressing the co-clustering problem of partitioning a binary array into subsets, assuming only that the data are generated by a nonparametric process satisfying the…

The proliferation of models for networks raises challenging problems of model selection: the data are sparse and globally dependent, and models are typically high-dimensional and have large numbers of latent variables. Together, these…

Due to the significant increase of communications between individuals via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin) or electronic formats (email, web, e-publication) in the past two decades, network analysis has become a unavoidable…

Multilayer networks generalize single-layered connectivity data in several directions. These generalizations include, among others, settings where multiple types of edges are observed among the same set of nodes (edge-colored networks) or…
