Analysis of the topology of a graph, regular or bipartite one, can be done by clustering for regular ones or co-clustering for bipartite ones. The Stochastic Block Model and the Latent Block Model are two models, which are very similar for…

Spectral embedding of adjacency or Laplacian matrices of undirected graphs is a common technique for representing a network in a lower dimensional latent space, with optimal theoretical guarantees. The embedding can be used to estimate the…
