We design new polynomial-time algorithms for recovering planted cliques in the semi-random graph model introduced by Feige and Kilian. The previous best algorithms for this model succeed if the planted clique has size at leastn2/3in a graph withnvertices. Our algorithms work for planted-clique sizes approachingn1/2— the information-theoretic threshold in the semi-random model and a conjectured computational threshold even in the easier fully-random model. This result comes close to resolving open questions by Feige and Steinhardt.To generate a graph in the semi-random planted-clique model, we first 1) plant a clique of sizekin ann-vertex –graph with edge probability 1/2 and then adversarially add or delete an arbitrary number edges not touching the planted clique and delete any subset of edges going out of the planted clique. For every є>0, we give annO(1/є)-time algorithm that recovers a clique of sizekin this model wheneverk≥n1/2+є. In fact, our algorithm computes, with high probability, a list of aboutn/kcliques of sizekthat contains the planted clique. Our algorithms also extend to arbitrary edge probabilitiespand improve on the previous best guarantee wheneverp≤ 1−n−0.001.Our algorithms rely on a new conceptual connection that translates certificates of upper bounds on biclique numbers inunbalancedbipartite –random graphs into algorithms for semi-random planted clique. Analogous to the (conjecturally) optimal algorithms for the fully-random model, the previous best guarantees for semi-random planted clique correspond to spectral relaxations of biclique numbers based on eigenvalues of adjacency matrices. We construct an SDP lower bound that shows that then2/3threshold in prior works is an inherent limitation of these spectral relaxations. We go beyond this limitation by using higher-order sum-of-squares relaxations for biclique numbers.We also provide some evidence that the information-computation trade-off of our current algorithms may be inherent by proving an average-case lower bound for unbalanced bicliques in the low-degree polynomial model.
