You are provided with the abstract of a scientific paper and the abstracts of the papers it references. Your task is to write a Related Work section for the main paper. This section should concisely summarize and integrate the key points from the cited abstracts, reflecting how they relate to the main paper's contributions and context. In your summary, use numerical citation markers like [1], [2], etc., to refer to the corresponding papers.

Main Abstract:
The classical setting of community detection consists of networks exhibiting a clustered structure. To more accurately model real systems we consider a class of networks (i) whose edges may carry labels and (ii) which may lack a clustered structure. Specifically we assume that nodes possess latent attributes drawn from a general compact space and edges between two nodes are randomly generated and labeled according to some unknown distribution as a function of their latent attributes. Our goal is then to infer the edge label distributions from a partially observed network. We propose a computationally efficient spectral algorithm and show it allows for asymptotically correct inference when the average node degree could be as low as logarithmic in the total number of nodes. Conversely, if the average node degree is below a specific constant threshold, we show that no algorithm can achieve better inference than guessing without using the observations. As a byproduct of our analysis, we show that our model provides a general procedure to construct random graph models with a spectrum asymptotic to a pre-specified eigenvalue distribution such as a power-law distribution.

[1]: The planted partition model (also known as the stochastic blockmodel) is a classical cluster-exhibiting random graph model that has been extensively studied in statistics, physics, and computer science. In its simplest form, the planted partition model is a model for random graphs on @math nodes with two equal-sized clusters, with an between-class edge probability of @math and a within-class edge probability of @math . Although most of the literature on this model has focused on the case of increasing degrees (ie. @math as @math ), the sparse case @math is interesting both from a mathematical and an applied point of view. A striking conjecture of Decelle, Krzkala, Moore and Zdeborov 'a based on deep, non-rigorous ideas from statistical physics gave a precise prediction for the algorithmic threshold of clustering in the sparse planted partition model. In particular, if @math and @math , then conjectured that it is possible to cluster in a way correlated with the true partition if @math , and impossible if @math for some sufficiently large @math . We prove half of their prediction, showing that it is indeed impossible to cluster if @math . Following , our work establishes a rigorous connection between the clustering problem, spin-glass models on the Bethe lattice and the so called reconstruction problem. This connection points to fascinating applications and open problems.

[2]: The labeled stochastic block model is a random graph model representing networks with community structure and interactions of multiple types. In its simplest form, it consists of two communities of approximately equal size, and the edges are drawn and labeled at random with probability depending on whether their two endpoints belong to the same community or not. It has been conjectured in [1] that this model exhibits a phase transition: reconstruction (i.e. identification of a partition positively correlated with the “true partition” into the underlying communities) would be feasible if and only if a model parameter exceeds a threshold. We prove one half of this conjecture, i.e., reconstruction is impossible when below the threshold. In the converse direction, we introduce a suitably weighted graph. We show that when above the threshold by a specific constant, reconstruction is achieved by (1) minimum bisection, and (2) a spectral method combined with removal of nodes of high degree.

[3]: We consider the problem of community detection from observed interactions between individuals, in the context where multiple types of interaction are possible. We use labelled stochastic block models to represent the observed data, where labels correspond to interaction types. Focusing on a two-community scenario, we conjecture a threshold for the problem of reconstructing the hidden communities in a way that is correlated with the true partition. To substantiate the conjecture, we prove that the given threshold correctly identifies a transition on the behaviour of belief propagation from insensitive to sensitive. We further prove that the same threshold corresponds to the transition in a related inference problem on a tree model from infeasible to feasible. Finally, numerical results using belief propagation for community detection give further support to the conjecture.

[4]: [1] conjectured the existence of a sharp threshold on model parameters for community detection in sparse random graphs drawn from the stochastic block model. Mossel, Neeman and Sly [2] established the negative part of the conjecture, proving impossibility of non-trivial reconstruction below the threshold. In this work we solve the positive part of the conjecture. To that end we introduce a modified adjacency matrix B which counts self-avoiding paths of a given length e between pairs of nodes. We then prove that for logarithmic length e, the leading eigenvectors of this modified matrix provide a non-trivial reconstruction of the underlying structure, thereby settling the conjecture. A key step in the proof consists in establishing a weak Ramanujan property of the constructed matrix B. Namely, the spectrum of B consists in two leading eigenvalues ρ(B), λ2 and n -- 2 eigenvalues of a lower order O(ne √ρ(B) for all e 0, ρ(B) denoting B's spectral radius.

[5]: We study a random graph model named the "block model" in statistics and the "planted partition model" in theoretical computer science. In its simplest form, this is a random graph with two equal-sized clusters, with a between-class edge probability of @math and a within-class edge probability of @math . A striking conjecture of Decelle, Krzkala, Moore and Zdeborov 'a based on deep, non-rigorous ideas from statistical physics, gave a precise prediction for the algorithmic threshold of clustering in the sparse planted partition model. In particular, if @math and @math , @math and @math then conjectured that it is possible to efficiently cluster in a way correlated with the true partition if @math and impossible if @math for some sufficiently large @math . In a previous work, we proved that indeed it is information theoretically impossible to to cluster if @math . A different independent proof of the same result was recently obtained by Laurent Massoulie.

[6]: In this paper we extend our previous work on the stochastic block model, a commonly used generative model for social and biological networks, and the problem of inferring functional groups or communities from the topology of the network. We use the cavity method of statistical physics to obtain an asymptotically exact analysis of the phase diagram. We describe in detail properties of the detectability undetectability phase transition and the easy hard phase transition for the community detection problem. Our analysis translates naturally into a belief propagation algorithm for inferring the group memberships of the nodes in an optimal way, i.e., that maximizes the overlap with the underlying group memberships, and learning the underlying parameters of the block model. Finally, we apply the algorithm to two examples of real-world networks and discuss its performance.
* Phase transition if @math There is an emerging line of works [6] [1] [5] [4] [3] [2] that try to identify the sharp phase transition threshold for positively correlated clustering in the regime with a bounded average node degree. All previous rigorous results focus on the two communities case, while [6] gives detailed predictions about the phase transition thresholds in the more general case with multiple communities. Here with multiple communities we identify a threshold below which positively correlated clustering is impossible. However, our threshold is not sharp.
