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

TL;DR: The Dynamic Stochastic Block model with Temporal Dirichlet Process is proposed, which is able to detect communities and track their evolution simultaneously from a network stream and exhibits a rich-gets-richer effect and other appealing properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generative, random network model with core-periphery structure is proposed, which jointly accounts for topological and spatial information by "core scores" of vertices.

The dynamic stochastic topic block model for dynamic networks with textual edges
TL;DR: A probabilistic model to cluster the nodes of a dynamic graph, accounting for the content of textual edges as well as their frequency is developed, and an application to the Enron dataset is illustrated.

Confidence sets for network structure
TL;DR: This article proposes conservative confidence sets that hold with respect to these underlying Bernoulli parameters as a function of any given partition of network nodes, enabling us to assess estimates of residual network structure, that is, structure that cannot be explained by known covariates and thus cannot be easily verified by manual inspection.

TL;DR: The notion of users' topic popularity is introduced as to enable theHCID model to depict the information diffusion process which is both topic-aware and source-aware, and uni-directional from the higher levels to the lower ones.

TL;DR: The goal of the Gene Ontology Consortium is to produce a dynamic, controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all eukaryotes even as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating and changing.

Finding scientific topics
TL;DR: A generative model for documents is described, introduced by Blei, Ng, and Jordan, and a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is presented for inference in this model, which is used to analyze abstracts from PNAS by using Bayesian model selection to establish the number of topics.

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.
