Sintesi	Bayesian PageRank extends the classic PageRank algorithm by embedding it within a Bayesian probabilistic framework. Instead of returning a single deterministic rank score for each node, it quantifies uncertainty over rank estimates — particularly valuable when the network is incomplete, noisy, or observed with error. It is used in web analysis, citation networks, and social network research where rank uncertainty matters.	Bayesian community detection infers latent group structure in networks by treating community membership as unobserved variables and using Bayesian inference — typically via Markov chain Monte Carlo or variational methods — to compute a posterior distribution over all plausible partitions. Unlike modularity optimisation, it selects the number of communities from data and provides principled uncertainty estimates for every node assignment.
