    Sharp Low-Degree Thresholds for Planted-vs-Planted Testing

    Researchers have established the first sharp thresholds for low-degree polynomial tests in planted-vs-planted scenarios. These tests aim to identify which of two structured mechanisms generated observed data. The findings include matching upper and lower bounds for community counting in specific models, aligning with known recovery thresholds. Additionally, the study identifies a smooth transition for weak testing, which does not exhibit a sharp threshold. AI
