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

Stochastic blockmodeling of relational event dynamics
TL;DR: This work combines ideas from stochastic blockmodeling and continuous-time network models by positing a latent partition of the node set such that event dynamics within and between subsets evolve in potentially distinct ways.

Detecting Cohesive and 2-mode Communities in Directed and Undirected Networks
TL;DR: This paper develops a novel overlapping community detection method that scales to networks of millions of nodes and edges and is able to identify novel and meaningful community structures in both directed and undirected networks, using data from social, biological, and ecological domains.

Federated Latent Dirichlet Allocation: A Local Differential Privacy Based Framework
TL;DR: FedLDA, a local differential privacy (LDP) based framework for federated learning of LDA models, contains a novel LDP mechanism called Random Response with Priori (RRP), which provides theoretical guarantees on both data privacy and model accuracy.

Estimating network edge probabilities by neighbourhood smoothing
TL;DR: In this article, a neighbourhood smoothing method is proposed to estimate the expectation of the adjacency matrix directly without making the structural assumptions that graphon estimation requires, which has a competitive mean squared error rate and outperforms many benchmark methods for link prediction.

Hierarchical Network Models for Education Research: Hierarchical Latent Space Models.
TL;DR: The HNM framework can be used to extend single-network statistical network models to multiple networks, using a hierarchical modeling approach, and it is shown how to generalize the latent space model for a single network to the HNM/multiple-network setting.

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.
