Proposes a Nested Block Model to unify various network block models.
New method for community detection in graphs faster than DCBM inference.
Community detection is a central problem of network data analysis. Given a network, the goal of community detection is to partition the network nodes into a small number of clusters, which could often help reveal interesting structures. The present paper studies community detection in Degree-Corrected Block Models (DCB…
Paper characterizes optimal graph clustering limits under a new model.
In the present paper we study a sparse stochastic network enabled with a block structure. The popular Stochastic Block Model (SBM) and the Degree Corrected Block Model (DCBM) address sparsity by placing an upper bound on the maximum probability of connections between any pair of nodes. As a result, sparsity describes o…
Improves community detection in directed networks with theoretical guarantees.
One of the most fundamental problems in network study is community detection. The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used model, for which various estimation methods have been developed with their community detection consistency results unveiled. However, the SBM is restricted by the strong assumption that all no…
A new test optimizes detecting small communities in large networks.
