New research characterizes information-computation gap in sparse stochastic block models

Researchers have characterized the information-computation gap in sparse stochastic block models, focusing on community recovery with multiple communities. They found that at the Kesten-Stigum threshold ($d\[lambda\]^2=1$), minimax risk equals Bayes risk, and for five or more communities, there's a window below this threshold where low-degree rules perform poorly, while exponential-time rules succeed. The study also analyzed Fisher information from cycle counts, showing convergence only below the threshold, and examined belief propagation's behavior at its uninformative fixed point, identifying a condition for signal-to-noise computation that relates to personalized PageRank.
