• Authors: O. Duranthon, L. Zdeborov\'a
• Abstract summary: We propose to model the communities as being determined by the node attributes rather than the opposite. We propose an algorithm, stemming from statistical physics, based on a combination of belief propagation and approximate message passing. The proposed model and algorithm can be used as a benchmark for both theory and algorithms.

• Abstract: The stochastic block model (SBM) is widely studied as a benchmark for graph clustering aka community detection. In practice, graph data often come with node attributes that bear additional information about the communities. Previous works modeled such data by considering that the node attributes are generated from the node community memberships. In this work, motivated by a recent surge of works in signal processing using deep neural networks as priors, we propose to model the communities as being determined by the node attributes rather than the opposite. We define the corresponding model; we call it the neural-prior SBM. We propose an algorithm, stemming from statistical physics, based on a combination of belief propagation and approximate message passing. We analyze the performance of the algorithm as well as the Bayes-optimal performance. We identify detectability and exact recovery phase transitions, as well as an algorithmically hard region. The proposed model and algorithm can be used as a benchmark for both theory and algorithms. To illustrate this, we compare the optimal performances to the performance of simple graph neural networks.

  We study the node classification problem on feature-decorated graphs in the sparse setting, i.e., when the expected degree of a node is $O(1)$ in the number of nodes. We introduce a notion of Bayes optimality for node classification tasks, called local Bayes optimality. We show that the optimal message-passing architecture interpolates between a standard in the regime of low graph signal and a typical in the regime of high graph signal.

  Semi-supervised node classification on graph-structured data has many applications such as fraud detection, fake account and review detection, user's private attribute inference in social networks, and community detection. Various methods such as pairwise Markov Random Fields (pMRF) and graph neural networks were developed for semi-supervised node classification. pMRF is more efficient than graph neural networks. Existing pMRF-based methods are less accurate than graph neural networks, due to a key limitation that they assume a constant edge potential for all edges.

Our methods are scalable to sparse graphs consisting of millions of nodes.
