Mixed Membership Stochastic Blockmodels
TLDR
In this article, the authors introduce a class of variance allocation models for pairwise measurements, called mixed membership stochastic blockmodels, which combine global parameters that instantiate dense patches of connectivity (blockmodel) with local parameters (mixed membership), and develop a general variational inference algorithm for fast approximate posterior inference.Abstract:
Consider data consisting of pairwise measurements, such as presence or absence of links between pairs of objects. These data arise, for instance, in the analysis of protein interactions and gene regulatory networks, collections of author-recipient email, and social networks. Analyzing pairwise measurements with probabilistic models requires special assumptions, since the usual independence or exchangeability assumptions no longer hold. Here we introduce a class of variance allocation models for pairwise measurements: mixed membership stochastic blockmodels. These models combine global parameters that instantiate dense patches of connectivity (blockmodel) with local parameters that instantiate node-specific variability in the connections (mixed membership). We develop a general variational inference algorithm for fast approximate posterior inference. We demonstrate the advantages of mixed membership stochastic blockmodels with applications to social networks and protein interaction networks.read more

Protein Complexes Discovery Based on Protein-Protein Interaction Data via a Regularized Sparse Generative Network Model
TL;DR: A regularized sparse generative network model (RSGNM) is developed, by adding another process that generates propensities using exponential distribution and incorporating Laplacian regularizer into an existing generativenetwork model, for protein complexes identification.

Predicting Item Adoption Using Social Correlation
TL;DR: The Social Correlation model based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) that decomposes the adoption graph into a set of latent factors reflecting user preferences, and a social correlation matrix reflecting the degree of correlation from one user to another is proposed.

TL;DR: The analysis provides an outline of the eukaryotic proteome as a network of protein complexes at a level of organization beyond binary interactions, which contains fundamental biological information and offers the context for a more reasoned and informed approach to drug discovery.
