Detecting communities in high-dimensional graphs can be achieved by applying random matrix theory where the adjacency matrix of the graph is modeled by a Stochastic Block Model (SBM). However, the SBM makes an unrealistic assumption that…

Community detection seeks to recover mesoscopic structure from network data that may be binary, count-valued, signed, directed, weighted, or multilayer. The stochastic block model (SBM) explains such structure by positing a latent partition…

Community detection algorithms have been widely used to study the organization of complex systems like the brain. A principal appeal of these techniques is their ability to identify a partition of brain regions (or nodes) into communities,…

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 stochastic block model (SBM),…
