ABSTRACT
In a dynamic social or biological environment, interactions between the underlying actors can undergo large and systematic changes. Each actor can assume multiple roles and their degrees of affiliation to these roles can also exhibit rich temporal phenomena. We propose a state space mixed membership stochastic blockmodel which can track across time the evolving roles of the actors. We also derive an efficient variational inference procedure for our model, and apply it to the Enron email networks, and rewiring gene regulatory networks of yeast. In both cases, our model reveals interesting dynamical roles of the actors.

Mixed-membership naive Bayes models
In recent years, mixture models have found widespread usage in discovering latent cluster structure from data. A popular special case of finite mixture models is the family of naive Bayes (NB) models, where the probability of a feature vector factorizes ...
Discriminative Mixed-Membership Models
ICDM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Ninth IEEE International Conference on Data MiningAlthough mixed-membership models have achieved great success in unsupervised learning, they have not been widely applied to classification problems. In this paper, we propose a family of discriminative mixed-membership models for classification by ...
