We study a polynomial time message-passing algorithm devised to solve the inference problem of partially recovering the hidden permutation, in the sparse regime with constant average degrees. We perform extensive numerical simulations to determine the range of parameters in which this algorithm achieves partial recovery. We also introduce a generalized ensemble of correlated random graphs with prescribed degree distributions, and extend the algorithm to this case.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.13079v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.13079v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"aligning-random-graphs-with-a-sub-tree","repo_url":"https://github.com/giovannipiccioli/graph_alignment","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
