While P vs NP asks whether hard instances of NP-hard problems exist, the study of average-case complexity asks whether
“typical” or random instances of NP-hard problems are hard. I’ll describe two classes of random computational problems:
random satisfiability and the community detection problem and explain how ideas from statistical physics have led to new
algorithms and an understanding of algorithmic barriers for these problems.
