• Abstract: Traditional social network analysis often models homophily--the tendency of similar individuals to form connections--using a single parameter, overlooking finer biases within and across groups. We present an exponential family model that integrates both local and global homophily, distinguishing between strong homophily within tightly knit cliques and weak homophily spanning broader community interactions. By modeling these forms of homophily through a maximum entropy approach and deriving the network behavior under percolation, we show how higher-order assortative mixing influences network dynamics. Our framework is useful for decomposing homophily into finer levels and studying the spread of information and diseases, influence dynamics, and innovation diffusion. We demonstrate that the interaction between different levels of homophily results in complex percolation thresholds. We tested our model on various datasets with distinct homophily patterns, showcasing its applicability. These homophilic connections significantly affect the effectiveness of intervention and mitigation strategies. Hence, our findings have important implications for improving public health measures, understanding information dissemination on social media, and optimizing intervention strategies.

  Contagion effect refers to the causal effect of peers' behavior on an individual's outcome in social networks. Existing proxy-based methods for contagion effect estimation have a very high variance when the proxies are high-dimensional. We introduce a novel framework, Proximal Embeddings (ProEmb), that integrates variational autoencoders with adversarial networks.
