Nonnegative Bayesian nonparametric factor models with completely random measures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a Bayesian nonparametric Poisson factorization model for modeling network data with an unknown and potentially growing number of overlapping communities. The construction is based on completely random measures and allows the number of communities to either increase with the number of nodes at a specified logarithmic or polynomial rate, or be bounded. We develop asymptotics for the number of nodes and the degree distribution of the network and derive a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for targeting the exact posterior distribution for this model. The usefulness of the approach is illustrated on various real networks.
