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

Spatial modeling of brain connectivity data via latent distance models with nodes clustering
TL;DR: This work proposes a predictor‐dependent latent space model for replicated brain network data which allows for flexible inference on brain network patterns which are not explained by the anatomical structure, and facilitates clustering among brain regions according to local similarities in the latent space.

On Joint Modeling of Topical Communities and Personal Interest in Microblogs
Tuan-Anh Hoang,Ee-Peng Lim +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes the Topical Communities and Personal Interest (TCPI) model, a model for simultaneously modeling topics, topical communities, and users’ topical interests in microblogging data and demonstrates that TCPI significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art topic models in the modeling tweet generation task.

Max-Margin Nonparametric Latent Feature Models for Link Prediction
Jun Zhu,Jiaming Song,Bei Chen +2 more
TL;DR: This approach attempts to unite the ideas of max-margin learning and Bayesian nonparametrics to discover discriminative latent features for link prediction, and inherits the advances of nonparametric Bayesian methods to infer the unknown latent social dimension.

Interactions in information spread: quantification and interpretation using stochastic block models.
TL;DR: A new model is proposed, the Interactive Mixed Membership Stochastic Block Model (IMMSBM), which investigates the role of interactions between entities and quantifies their importance within the aforementioned corpora and finds that interactions play an important role in those corpora.

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.
