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

Low-Rank Kernel Matrix Factorization for Large-Scale Evolutionary Clustering
TL;DR: This is the first work that clusters large evolutionary data sets by the amalgamation of low-rank matrix approximation methods and matrix factorization-based clustering, and mathematically proves the convergence and correctness of ECKF and provides detailed analysis of its computational efficiency.

Link Prediction with Signed Latent Factors in Signed Social Networks
TL;DR: The proposed SLF model considers four types of relationships: positive, negative, neutral and no relationship at all, and links social relationships of different types to the comprehensive, but opposite, effects of positive and negative SLFs.

Combined node and link partitions method for finding overlapping communities in complex networks

TL;DR: This work proposes a new unified model and method for finding the best overlapping communities on the basis of the associated node and link partitions derived from the same framework and introduces a model selection method based on consensus clustering to determine the number of communities.

Edge Label Inference in Generalized Stochastic Block Models: from Spectral Theory to Impossibility Results
TL;DR: This work proposes a computationally efficient spectral algorithm that allows for asymptotically correct inference when the average node degree could be as low as logarithmic in the total number of nodes and shows that no algorithm can achieve better inference than guessing without using the observations.
