Planted Dense Subgraph (PDS) problem is a prototypical problem with a computational-statistical gap. It also exhibits an intriguing additional phenomenon: different tasks, such as detection or recovery, appear to have different…
A vertex set $X$ of a graph $G$ is an association set if each component of $G - X$ is a clique, or a dissociation set if each component of $G - X$ is a single vertex or a single edge. Interestingly, $G - X$ is then precisely a graph…
We continue the study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, and, more specifically, of graph classes with bounded tree-independence number. In [Dallard, Milani\v{c}, and…
Local Attention-guided Message Passing Mechanism (LAMP) adopted in Graph Attention Networks (GATs) is designed to adaptively learn the importance of neighboring nodes for better local aggregation on the graph, which can bring the…
Potential maximal cliques and minimal separators are combinatorial objects which were introduced and studied in the realm of minimal triangulations problems including Minimum Fill-in and Treewidth. We discover unexpected applications of…
In this work we propose a random graph model that can produce graphs at different levels of sparsity. We analyze how sparsity affects the graph spectra, and thus the performance of graph neural networks (GNNs) in node classification on…
We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,1/2) and one is interested in recovering this planted clique. It is widely believed that it exhibits a statistical-computational gap when…
Geometric data analysis relies on graphs that are either given as input or inferred from data. These graphs are often treated as "correct" when solving downstream tasks such as graph signal denoising. But real-world graphs are known to…
In this paper, we introduce a class of graphs which we call average hereditary graphs. Many graphs that occur in the usual graph theory applications belong to this class of graphs. Many popular types of graphs fall under this class, such as…
Random graph matching refers to recovering the underlying vertex correspondence between two random graphs with correlated edges; a prominent example is when the two random graphs are given by Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs $G(n,\frac{d}{n})$.…
Augmented graphs play a vital role in regularizing Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which leverage information exchange along edges in graphs, in the form of message passing, for learning. Due to their effectiveness, simple edge and node…
The average-case complexity of a branch-and-bound algorithms for Minimum Dominating Set problem in random graphs in the G(n,p) model is studied. We identify phase transitions between subexponential and exponential average-case complexities,…
Graph clustering involves the task of dividing nodes into clusters, so that the edge density is higher within clusters as opposed to across clusters. A natural, classic and popular statistical setting for evaluating solutions to this…
A quickest change detection problem is considered in a sensor network with observations whose statistical dependency structure across the sensors before and after the change is described by a decomposable graphical model (DGM). Distributed…
We study the noise sensitivity of the minimum spanning tree (MST) of the $n$-vertex complete graph when edges are assigned independent random weights. It is known that when the graph distance is rescaled by $n^{1/3}$ and vertices are given…
This paper concerns fractional $K_s$-decompositions of multipartite graphs. For integers $r\ge s\ge 3$, we consider balanced $r$-partite graphs $G$ on $rn$ vertices. We establish necessary conditions for $G$ to admit a fractional…
We give a lower bound of $\tilde{\Omega}(\sqrt{n})$ for the degree-4 Sum-of-Squares SDP relaxation for the planted clique problem. Specifically, we show that on an Erd\"os-R\'enyi graph $G(n,\tfrac{1}{2})$, with high probability there is a…
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often struggle with noisy edges. We propose Latent Space Constrained Graph Neural Networks (LSC-GNN) to incorporate external "clean" links and guide embeddings of a noisy target graph. We train two encoders--one…
We demonstrate some lower bounds for parameterized problems via parameterized classes corresponding to the classical ${\rm AC}^0$. Among others, we derive such a lower bound for all fpt-approximations of the parameterized clique problem and…
Graphs are a fundamental data structure used to represent relationships in domains as diverse as the social sciences, bioinformatics, cybersecurity, the Internet, and more. One of the central observations in network science is that…
