Efficient Near-Optimal Testing of Community Changes in Balanced Stochastic Block Models

NeurIPS 2019poster

We propose and analyze the problems of \textit{community goodness-of-fit and two-sample testing} for stochastic block models (SBM), where changes arise due to modification in community memberships of nodes. Motivated by practical applications, we consider the challenging sparse regime, where expect…

Two-Sample Testing can be as Hard as Structure Learning in Ising Models: Minimax Lower Bounds

ICASSP 2018accepted

Consider the following structural two-sample testing problem: given two sets of sample drawn from Ising models, determine whether the underlying network structure has changed. In [1], we showed that for Ising models over p variables with network structures that have degree bounded by d, under mild c…
