Dynamic Stochastic Block Model

The Dynamic Stochastic Block Model (DSBM) is a generative probabilistic framework that extends the static stochastic block model to networks observed across multiple time points. It jointly models community membership and community evolution, allowing researchers to detect and track latent groups and their structural changes over time in longitudinal network data.
