Many real-world networks known as attributed networks contain two types of information: topology information and node attributes. It is a challenging task on how to use these two types of information to explore structural regularities. In this paper, by characterizing potential relationship between link communities and node attributes, a principled statistical model named PSB_PG that generates link topology and node attributes is proposed. This model for generating links is based on the stochastic blockmodels following a Poisson distribution. Therefore, it is capable of detecting a wide range of network structures including community structures, bipartite structures and other mixture structures. The model for generating node attributes assumes that node attributes are high dimensional and sparse and also follow a Poisson distribution. This makes the model be uniform and the model parameters can be directly estimated by expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Experimental results on artificial networks and real networks containing various structures have shown that the proposed model PSB_PG is not only competitive with the state-of-the-art models, but also provides good semantic interpretation for each community via the learned relationship between the community and its related attributes.

In this paper, we consider the problem of exploring structural regularities of networks by dividing the nodes of a network into groups such that the members of each group have similar patterns of connections to other groups. Specifically, we propose
a general statistical model to describe network structure. In this model, group is viewed as hidden or unobserved quantity and it is learned by fitting the observed network data using the expectation-maximization algorithm. Compared with existing models, the most prominent strength of our model is the high flexibility. This strength enables it to possess the advantages of existing models and overcomes their shortcomings in a unified way. As a result, not only broad types of structure can be detected without prior knowledge of what type of intrinsic regularities exist in the network, but also the type of identified structure can be directly learned from data. Moreover, by differentiating outgoing edges from incoming edges, our model can detect several types of structural regularities beyond competing models. Tests on a number of real world and artificial networks demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art model at shedding light on the structural features of networks, including the overlapping community structure, multipartite structure and several other types of structure which are beyond the capability of existing models.
Human activities increasingly take place in online environments, providing novel opportunities for relating individual behaviours to population-level outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a simple generative model for the collective behaviour of mill
ions of social networking site users who are deciding between different software applications. Our model incorporates two distinct components: one is associated with recent decisions of users, and the other reflects the cumulative popularity of each application. Importantly, although various combinations of the two mechanisms yield long-time behaviour that is consistent with data, the only models that reproduce the observed temporal dynamics are those that strongly emphasize the recent popularity of applications over their cumulative popularity. This demonstrates---even when using purely observational data without experimental design---that temporal data-driven modelling can effectively distinguish between competing microscopic mechanisms, allowing us to uncover new aspects of collective online behaviour.
Core-periphery structure and community structure are two typical meso-scale structures in complex networks. Though the community detection has been extensively investigated from different perspectives, the definition and the detection of core-periphe
ry structure have not received much attention. Furthermore, the detection problems of the core-periphery and community structure were separately investigated. In this paper, we develop a unified framework to simultaneously detect core-periphery structure and community structure in complex networks. Moreover, there are several extra advantages of our algorithm: our method can detect not only single but also multiple pairs of core-periphery structures; the overlapping nodes belonging to different communities can be identified; different scales of core-periphery structures can be detected by adjusting the size of core. The good performance of the method has been validated on synthetic and real complex networks. So we provide a basic framework to detect the two typical meso-scale structures: core-periphery structure and community structure.
Companies are exposed to rigid competition, so they seek how best to improve the capabilities of their innovations. One strategy is to collaborate with other companies in order to speed up their own innovations. Such inter-company collaborations are
conducted by inventors belonging to the companies. At the same time, the inventors also seem to be affected by past collaborations between companies. Therefore, interdependency of two networks, namely inventor and company networks, exists. This paper discusses a model that replicates two-layer networks extracted from patent data of Japan and the United States in terms of degree distributions. The model replicates two-layer networks with the interdependency. Moreover it is the only model that uses local information, while other models have to use overall information, which is unrealistic. In addition, the proposed model replicates empirical data better than other models.
One of the most important problems in complex networks is how to detect metadata groups accurately. The main challenge lies in the fact that traditional structural communities do not always capture the intrinsic features of metadata groups. Motivated
by the observation that metadata groups in PPI networks tend to consist of an abundance of interacting triad motifs, we define a 2-club substructure with diameter 2 which possessing triad-rich property to describe a metadata group. Based on the triad-rich substructure, we design a DIVision Algorithm using our proposed edge Niche Centrality DIVANC to detect metadata groups effectively in complex networks. We also extend DIVANC to detect overlapping metadata groups by proposing a simple 2-hop overlapping strategy. To verify the effectiveness of triad-rich substructures, we compare DIVANC with existing algorithms on PPI networks, LFR synthetic networks and football networks. The experimental results show that DIVANC outperforms most other algorithms significantly and, in particular, can detect sparse metadata groups.
