报告摘要：

To recover community labels under the stochastic block model (SBM), we propose a split likelihood (SL) framework, which aims at providing a rapidly converging algorithm with advantages in terms of both the accuracy of community detection and computational efficiency. Under such framework, we create an alternative inference function, the split likelihood, to avoid handling the problem of the intractability of the inference of the likelihood of the original observation, by splitting variables of the original SBM into two independent split bodies with identical distribution. Then, we create some effective computing strategies to maximize the split likelihood. Based on them, we propose the efficient SL algorithm and establish its computational and statistical properties. We demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods via some numerical results as well as a real data analysis.
