From: Quantifying metadata relevance to network block structure using description length
a Partition landscape10,26 for a toy network, with the negative description length on the vertical axis, for which we have highlighted the positions of the optimal inferred partition (blue/red), a second partition (blue/red), and a metadata partition d (purple/green). b Approach of measuring partition similarity directly. c Proposed metablox approach, of measuring the distance of the network’s description length under the metadata partition from the network’s description length under the optimal partition.
