Community detection in sparse latent space models

4 Aug 2020  ·  Fengnan Gao, Zongming Ma, Hongsong Yuan ·

We show that a simple community detection algorithm originated from stochastic blockmodel literature achieves consistency, and even optimality, for a broad and flexible class of sparse latent space models. The class of models includes latent eigenmodels (arXiv:0711.1146). The community detection algorithm is based on spectral clustering followed by local refinement via normalized edge counting.
