Active Learning on Adversarially Corrupted Graphs

arXiv:2607.04869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivated by real-world scenarios where malicious entities tamper with existing networks, we define a model where an adversary seeks to hide a set of \emph{corrupted vertices} inside a graph $G^*$. To this end, the adversary can add edges between the corrupted vertices, as well as edges between the corrupted vertices and $G^*$, and its power is then measured by the size of the \emph{neighborhood} of the corrupted vertices in $G^*$. Our goal is to design an active learning algorithm that efficiently finds the subset of corrupted vertices using a s
