The stochastic block model for one community with parameters $n, K, p,$ and $q$ is considered: $K$ out of $n$ vertices are in the community; two vertices are connected by an edge with probability $p$ if they are both in the community and with probability $q$ otherwise, where $p > q > 0$ and $p/q$ is assumed to be bounded. An estimator based on observation of the graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to achieve weak recovery if the mean number of misclassified vertices is $o(K)$ as $n o infty$. A critical role is played by the effective signal-to-noise ratio $lambda=K^2(p-q)^2/((n-K)q).$ In the regime $K=Theta(n)$, a na"{i}ve degree-thresholding algorithm achieves weak recovery in $O(|E|)$ time if $lambda o infty$, which coincides with the information theoretic possibility of weak recovery.
The main focus of the paper is on weak recovery in the sublinear regime $K=o(n)$ and $np = n^{o(1)}.$ It is shown that weak recovery is provided by a belief propagation algorithm running for $log^ast(n)+O(1) $ iterations, if $lambda > 1/e,$ with the total time complexity $O(|E| log^*n)$. Conversely, no local algorithm with radius $t$ of interaction satisfying $t = o(frac{log n}{log(2+np)})$ can asymptotically outperform trivial random guessing if $lambda leq 1/e.$ By analyzing a linear message-passing algorithm that corresponds to applying power iteration to the non-backtracking matrix of the graph, we provide evidence to suggest that spectral methods fail to provide weak recovery if $lambda leq 1.$
