In this paper, we study the effect of dependence on detecting a class of signals in Ising models, where the signals are present in a structured way. Examples include Ising Models on lattices, and Mean-Field type Ising Models (Erdős-Rényi, Random regular, and dense graphs). Our results rely on correlation decay and mixing type behavior for Ising Models, and demonstrate the beneficial behavior of criticality in the detection of strictly lower signals. As a by-product of our proof technique, we develop sharp control on mixing and spin-spin correlation for several Mean-Field type Ising Models in all regimes of temperature – which might be of independent interest.
