There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: Flexible Spectral Methods for Community Detection
ABSTRACT:
We propose a class of flexible spectral methods for community detection in directed and undirected networks. These methods extract the clustering information by taking the entry-wise ratios of the
eigenvectors, and can be adapted for different purposes including exploring substructures, incorporating covariates. Some practical guidance about the choice of the number of communities will also be provided. Then we demonstrate using the statistician coauthorship and
citation data collected by ourselves, and show a handful of meaningful communities, such as "high-dimensional data”, "large-scale multiple testing", "Dimensional Reduction”, "Objective Bayes” and “Theoretical Machine Learning", etc.
