Minimax Rates for Robust Community Detection

In this work, we study the problem of community detection in the stochastic block model with adversarial node corruptions. Our main result is an efficient algorithm that can tolerate an $\epsilon$-fraction of corruptions and achieves error $O(\epsilon) + e^{-\frac{C}{2} (1 \pm o(1))}$ where $C = (\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{b})^2$ is the signal-to-noise ratio and $a/n$ and $b/n$ are the inter-community and intra-community connection probabilities respectively. These bounds essentially match the minimax rates for the SBM without corruptions. We also give robust algorithms for $\mathbb{Z}_2$-synchronization. At the heart of our algorithm is a new semidefinite program that uses global information to robustly boost the accuracy of a rough clustering. Moreover, we show that our algorithms are doubly-robust in the sense that they work in an even more challenging noise model that mixes adversarial corruptions with unbounded monotone changes, from the semi-random model.
