My grad school colleague Jure Leskovec was at UW recently, talking about a cool new model for clusters in random graphs. It was part generative model, and part statistical model, and made me miss my grad school days when I spent long hours proving theorems about such things. This statistical part of his model has a very forced acronym: BigCLAM, and also a software implementation: https://github.com/snap-stanford/snap/tree/master/examples/bigclam
Maybe one day I’ll get to do some applied network research for global health, and have a chance to use this.
