Reconstructing Mesoscale Network Structures by Jeroen van Lidth de Jeude, Riccardo Di Clemente, Guido Caldarelli, Fabio Saracco, Tiziano Squartini

“…Our analysis shows that constraining the network degree sequences is often enough to reproduce such structures, as confirmed by model selection criteria as AIC or BIC. As a byproduct, our paper enriches the toolbox for the analysis of bipartite networks, still far from being complete: both the bow-tie and the core-periphery structure, in fact, partition the networks into asymmetric blocks characterized by binary, directed connections, thus calling for the extension of a recently proposed method to randomize undirected, bipartite networks to the directed case.…”
