The Department of Mathematics hereby invites all interested to a docentship lecture in subject Mathematics with Associate Professor Fiona Skerman.
Chairperson: Professor Volodymyr Mazorchuk

Abstract: Random graphs with planted structure provide an interesting testbed to ask when it is likely that we can identify the planted structure given an unlabelled graph. I will give an introduction to the area and consider a toy model for detecting communities in networks.
The lecture is an obligatory teaching test for those applying for admittance as docent and it should be possible for students and others with basic academic education in the relevant field to follow it. The lecture lasts 40-45 minutes with subsequent discussion. The lecture will be given in English.
Welcome!
