30 30 Algorithmic Idea We capitalize the idea of community detection in sparse random network, SBM is a special case of our problem formulation with homogeneous nodes M nodes 2 communities Expected connection Adjacency matrix B = pp > + qq > B = Bernoulli(NB) Regularize Truncated SVD: [Le, Levina, Vershynin] remove heavy row/column from B, run rank-2 SVD on the remaining graph M M matrix Probability matrix B = > + > Sample counts B = Poisson(N B) Key Challenge: In our general setup, we have heterogeneous nodes/ marginal probabilities

31 Algorithmic Idea 1, Binning We group the M nodes according to the empirical marginal probability, divide the matrix into blocks, then apply regularized t-svd to each block Phase 1 1. Estimate non-uniform marginal b 2. Bin M nodes according to b i 3. Regularized t-svd in each bin bin block of B 31

32 Algorithmic Idea 1, Binning We group the M nodes according to the empirical marginal probability, divide the matrix into blocks, then apply regularized t-svd to each block Phase 1 1. Estimate non-uniform marginal b 2. Bin M nodes according to b i 3. Regularized t-svd in each bin bin block of B Key Challenges: ü Binning is not exact, we need to deal with spillover ü We need to piece together estimates over bins 32

33 33 Algorithmic Idea 2, Refinement The coarse estimation from Phase 1 gives some global information. Make use of that to do local refinement for each row / column of B Phase 2 1. Refine the estimate for each node use linear regression 2. Achieve sample complexity N = O(M/ 2 ) minmax optimal

34 34 Take-Away Message Structured Data generation Learning X() We identify a problem that lies at the core of many learning problems Spectral algorithm is not solving for the non-convex MLE, we need carefully designed algorithm to improve its statistical efficiency Coming soon: estimation / approximation / property testing of structured probability distribution
