Efficient and Accurate Group Testing via Belief Propagation: An Empirical Study

Authors: Amin Coja-Oghlan, Max Hahn-Klimroth, Philipp Loick, and Manuel Penschuck

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 233, 20th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2022)

Abstract
The group testing problem asks for efficient pooling schemes and inference algorithms that allow to screen moderately large numbers of samples for rare infections. The goal is to accurately identify the infected individuals while minimizing the number of tests. We propose the novel adaptive pooling scheme adaptive Belief Propagation (ABP) that acknowledges practical limitations such as limited pooling sizes and noisy tests that may give imperfect answers. We demonstrate that the accuracy of ABP surpasses that of individual testing despite using few overall tests. The new design comes with Belief Propagation as an efficient inference algorithm. While the development of ABP is guided by mathematical analyses and asymptotic insights, we conduct an experimental study to obtain results on practical population sizes.

Inference and Mutual Information on Random Factor Graphs

Authors: Amin Coja-Oghlan, Max Hahn-Klimroth, Philipp Loick, Noela Müller, Konstantinos Panagiotou, and Matija Pasch

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 187, 38th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2021)

Abstract
Random factor graphs provide a powerful framework for the study of inference problems such as decoding problems or the stochastic block model. Information-theoretically the key quantity of interest is the mutual information between the observed factor graph and the underlying ground truth around which the factor graph was created; in the stochastic block model, this would be the planted partition. The mutual information gauges whether and how well the ground truth can be inferred from the observable data. For a very general model of random factor graphs we verify a formula for the mutual information predicted by physics techniques. As an application we prove a conjecture about low-density generator matrix codes from [Montanari: IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 2005]. Further applications include phase transitions of the stochastic block model and the mixed k-spin model from physics.

Information-Theoretic and Algorithmic Thresholds for Group Testing

Authors: Amin Coja-Oghlan, Oliver Gebhard, Max Hahn-Klimroth, and Philipp Loick

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
In the group testing problem we aim to identify a small number of infected individuals within a large population. We avail ourselves to a procedure that can test a group of multiple individuals, with the test result coming out positive iff at least one individual in the group is infected. With all tests conducted in parallel, what is the least number of tests required to identify the status of all individuals? In a recent test design [Aldridge et al. 2016] the individuals are assigned to test groups randomly, with every individual joining an equal number of groups. We pinpoint the sharp threshold for the number of tests required in this randomised design so that it is information-theoretically possible to infer the infection status of every individual. Moreover, we analyse two efficient inference algorithms. These results settle conjectures from [Aldridge et al. 2014, Johnson et al. 2019].
