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

A simple infinite topic mixture for rich graphs and relational data
TL;DR: A simple component or “topic” model for relational data, that is, for heterogeneous collections of co-occurrences between categorical variables, is proposed, especially suitable for finding global components from collections of massively heterogeneous data.

Bayesian probabilistic model for context-aware recommendations
TL;DR: A latent probabilistic model is proposed to incorporate the contextual information by adopting a binary particle-swarm optimization technique, and the relevant contextual factors for user classes and item classes are identified and incorporated into the model.
