Popis: Social networks involve both positive and negative relationships, which can be captured in signed graphs. The {\em edge sign prediction problem} aims to predict whether an interaction between a pair of nodes will be positive or negative. We provide theoretical results for this problem that motivate natural improvements to recent heuristics. The edge sign prediction problem is related to correlation clustering; a positive relationship means being in the same cluster. We consider the following model for two clusters: we are allowed to query any pair of nodes whether they belong to the same cluster or not, but the answer to the query is corrupted with some probability $0
