In a graph bisection problem, we are given a graph $G$ with two equally-sized unlabeled communities, and the goal is to recover the vertices in these communities. A popular heuristic, known as spectral clustering, is to output an estimated…

The problem of community detection with two equal-sized communities is closely related to the minimum graph bisection problem over certain random graph models. In the stochastic block model distribution over networks with community…

Spectral graph bisections are a popular heuristic aimed at approximating the solution of the NP-complete graph bisection problem. This technique, however, does not always provide a robust tool for graph partitioning. Using a special class…

We design new polynomial-time algorithms for recovering planted cliques in the semi-random graph model introduced by Feige and Kilian 2001. The previous best algorithms for this model succeed if the planted clique has size at least…

In this work, we focus on the Bipartite Stochastic Block Model (BiSBM), a popular model for bipartite graphs with a community structure. We consider the high dimensional setting where the number $n_1$ of type I nodes is far smaller than the…

In this paper, we propose and study a new semi-random model for graph partitioning problems. We believe that it captures many properties of real--world instances. The model is more flexible than the semi-random model of Feige and Kilian and…

Several probabilistic models from high-dimensional statistics and machine learning reveal an intriguing --and yet poorly understood-- dichotomy. Either simple local algorithms succeed in estimating the object of interest, or even…

Spectral algorithms are an important building block in machine learning and graph algorithms. We are interested in studying when such algorithms can be applied directly to provide optimal solutions to inference tasks. Previous works by…

We study the statistical performance of semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations for clustering under random graph models. Under the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ Synchronization model, Censored Block Model and Stochastic Block Model, we show that SDP…

We present an algorithm for recovering planted solutions in two well-known models, the stochastic block model and planted constraint satisfaction problems, via a common generalization in terms of random bipartite graphs. Our algorithm…

We present an efficient algorithm to solve semirandom planted instances of any Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). The semirandom model is a hybrid between worst-case and average-case input models, where the input is generated by…

We consider the problem of identifying underlying community-like structures in graphs. Towards this end we study the Stochastic Block Model (SBM) on $k$-clusters: a random model on $n=km$ vertices, partitioned in $k$ equal sized clusters,…

The binary symmetric stochastic block model deals with a random graph of $n$ vertices partitioned into two equal-sized clusters, such that each pair of vertices is connected independently with probability $p$ within clusters and $q$ across…

We propose a semidefinite programming (SDP) algorithm for community detection in the stochastic block model, a popular model for networks with latent community structure. We prove that our algorithm achieves exact recovery of the latent…

In this paper, we study the Planted Clique problem in a semi-random model. Our model is inspired from the Feige-Kilian model [16] which has been studied in many other works [8,11,17,26,35,38] for a variety of graph problems. Our algorithm…

We analyze the performance of the greedy algorithm, and also a discrete semi-gradient based algorithm, for maximizing the sum of a suBmodular and suPermodular (BP) function (both of which are non-negative monotone non-decreasing) under two…

We study graph clustering in the Stochastic Block Model (SBM) in the presence of both large clusters and small, unrecoverable clusters. Previous convex relaxation approaches achieving exact recovery do not allow any small clusters of size…

We present a parallelized bijective graph matching algorithm that leverages seeds and is designed to match very large graphs. Our algorithm combines spectral graph embedding with existing state-of-the-art seeded graph matching procedures.…

Maximum A posteriori Probability (MAP) inference in graphical models amounts to solving a graph-structured combinatorial optimization problem. Popular inference algorithms such as belief propagation (BP) and generalized belief propagation…

The stochastic block model is a canonical random graph model for clustering and community detection on network-structured data. Decades of extensive study on the problem have established many profound results, among which the phase…
