New semi-random models challenge planted subgraph detection

Researchers have introduced semi-random models for planted subgraph detection, a departure from traditional purely random graph models. This new framework accounts for adversaries who may remove edges outside the planted subgraph, posing significant challenges to inference. The study establishes statistical limits, indicating that detection becomes information-theoretically impossible for subgraphs with very low density, while density above a certain threshold allows for robust detection. A computationally efficient algorithm is also proposed, offering rigorous statistical guarantees. AI

IMPACT Introduces new theoretical frameworks for graph inference, potentially impacting AI applications in network analysis and cybersecurity.

    Robust Detection of Planted Subgraphs in Semi-Random Models

    arXiv:2508.02158v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Detection of planted subgraphs in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs has been extensively studied, leading to a rich body of results characterizing both statistical and computational thresholds. However, most prior work assumes…
