Supervised Blockmodelling
Collective classification models attempt to improve classification
performance by taking into account the class labels of related instances.
However, they tend not to learn patterns of interactions between classes and/or
make the assumption that instances of the same class link to each other
(assortativity assumption). Blockmodels provide a solution to these issues,
being capable of modelling assortative and disassortative interactions, and
learning the pattern of interactions in the form of a summary network. The
Supervised Blockmodel provides good classification performance using link
structure alone, whilst simultaneously providing an interpretable summary of
network interactions to allow a better understanding of the data. This work
explores three variants of supervised blockmodels of varying complexity and
tests them on four structurally different real world networks.Comment: Workshop on Collective Learning and Inference on Structured Data 201
