Title

Pair-matching and sequential learning of communities

Speaker

Cristophe Giraud

Abstract

We will discuss the question of learning sequentially successful matching between individuals. We will consider the simplest settings and we will exhibit some phase transition phenomenas. The analysis will rely on some recent results on community recovery in stochastic block models, that we will introduce, starting from the most basic settings.
