Deep Dynamic Mixed Membership Stochastic Blockmodel

Published: 14 October 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Latent community models are successful at statistically modeling network data by assigning network entities to communities and modelling entity relations as the relations of their communities. In this paper, we describe the limitation of these models in inferring relations between two communities when the entity relations between these communities are unobserved. We propose a solution to this problem by factorizing the community relations matrix into two community feature matrices, thereby adding a dependency between community relations. We introduce the deep dynamic mixed membership stochastic blockmodel based network (DDBN) to demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach. Our model marries the mixed membership stochastic blockmodel (MMSB) with deep neural networks for rich feature extraction and introduces a temporal dependency in latent features using a long short-term memory unit for dynamic network modeling. We evaluate our model on the link prediction task in static and dynamic networks and find that our model achieves comparable results with state-of-the-art methods.
