Abstract: We address the problem of retrieving information from a noisy version of the 'knowledge networks' introduced by Maslov and Zhang (2001 Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 248701). We map this problem onto a disordered statistical mechanics model, which opens the door to many analytical and numerical approaches. We give the replica symmetric solution, compare it with numerical simulations, and finally discuss an application to real data from the United States Senate.
