Adaptive $k$NN graph model

arXiv:2601. 16509v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The $k$-nearest neighbors ($k$NN) algorithm is a cornerstone of non-parametric classification in artificial intelligence, yet its deployment in large-scale applications is persistently constrained by the computational trade-off between inference speed and accuracy.

Average Distance Approximation for Static Large Graphs

The paper investigates methods for estimating average distances in large static graphs, comparing a graph sampling approach (Random Walk) with landmark-based techniques such as the Size Estimation Framework (SEF) and the Eppstein‑Wang (EW) algorithm. Random Walk proved unreliable for small samples and costly for larger ones, while landmark methods using HyperLogLog were more efficient. Experiments on undirected, unweighted graphs showed that the EW algorithm achieves very low error (≈0.02%) and can use a subset of only 100 nodes for accurate estimation, outperforming SEF in accuracy and speed.

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.
