• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel model, the Bipartite Mixed Membership Distribution-Free (BiMMDF) model. Our model allows an adjacency matrix to follow any distribution as long as its expectation has a block structure related to node membership. An efficient algorithm with a theoretical guarantee of consistent estimation is applied to fit BiMMDF.

• Abstract: Modeling and estimating mixed memberships for overlapping unipartite un-weighted networks has been well studied in recent years. However, to our knowledge, there is no model for a more general case, the overlapping bipartite weighted networks. To close this gap, we introduce a novel model, the Bipartite Mixed Membership Distribution-Free (BiMMDF) model. Our model allows an adjacency matrix to follow any distribution as long as its expectation has a block structure related to node membership. In particular, BiMMDF can model overlapping bipartite signed networks and it is an extension of many previous models, including the popular mixed membership stochastic blcokmodels. An efficient algorithm with a theoretical guarantee of consistent estimation is applied to fit BiMMDF. We then obtain the separation conditions of BiMMDF for different distributions. Furthermore, we also consider missing edges for sparse networks. The advantage of BiMMDF is demonstrated in extensive synthetic networks and eight real-world networks.

Since the parameters are included in the posterior distribution, this leaves more flexibility for the local probability models.

• Mixed membership distribution-free model [0.4972323953932129]
  We consider the problem of community detection in overlapping weighted networks, where nodes can belong to multiple communities and edge weights can be finite real numbers. To model such complex networks, we propose a general framework - the mixed membership distribution-free (MMDF) model. We use an efficient spectral algorithm with a theoretical guarantee of convergence rate to estimate community memberships under the model.

Our models do not require a specific distribution on generating elements of the adjacency matrix but only a block structure on the expected adjacency matrix.

• Community Detection in Bipartite Networks with Stochastic Blockmodels [0.0]
  In bipartite networks, community structures are restricted to being disassortative, in that nodes of one type are grouped according to common patterns of connection with nodes of the other type. This makes the block model (SBM) an intuitive choice for bipartite community detection. We introduce a nonparametric formulation of the SBM and a corresponding algorithm to efficiently find communities in bipartite networks.
