Community Detection: Exact Recovery in Weighted Graphs

원문 초록

In community detection, the exact recovery of communities (clusters) has been mainly investigated under the general stochastic block model with edges drawn from Bernoulli distributions. This paper considers the exact recovery of communities in a complete graph in which the graph edges are drawn from either a set of Gaussian distributions with community-dependent means and variances, or a set of exponential distributions with community-dependent means. For each case, we introduce a new semi-metric that describes sufficient and necessary conditions of exact recovery. The necessary and sufficient conditions are asymptotically tight. The analysis is also extended to incomplete, fully connected weighted graphs.
