In this paper, we propose the Hybrid Membership-Latent Distance Model (HM-LDM) by exploring how a Latent Distance Model (LDM) can be constrained to a latent simplex. By controlling the edge lengths of the corners of the simplex, the volume of the latent space can be systematically controlled. Thereby communities are revealed as the space becomes more constrained, with hard memberships being recovered as the simplex volume goes to zero. We further explore a recent likelihood formulation for signed networks utilizing the Skellam distribution to account for signed weighted networks and extend the HM-LDM to the signed Hybrid Membership-Latent Distance Model (sHM-LDM). Importantly, the induced likelihood function explicitly attracts nodes with positive links and deters nodes having negative interactions. We demonstrate the utility of HM-LDM and sHM-LDM on several real networks. We find that the procedures successfully identify prominent distinct structures, as well as how nodes relate to the extracted aspects providing favorable performances in terms of link prediction when compared to prominent baselines. Furthermore, the learned soft memberships enable easily interpretable network visualizations highlighting distinct patterns. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219525923400027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,18]],"date-time":"2023-08-18T09:40:14Z","timestamp":1692351614000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A HYBRID MEMBERSHIP LATENT DISTANCE MODEL FOR UNSIGNED AND SIGNED INTEGER WEIGHTED NETWORKS"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9311-3458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"NIKOLAOS","family":"NAKIS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark, Anker Engelunds Vej 101, Kongens Lyngby 2800, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8912-711X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"ABDULKADIR","family":"\u00c7ELIKKANAT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark, Anker Engelunds Vej 101, Kongens Lyngby 2800, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4985-4368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"MORTEN","family":"M\u00d8RUP","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark, Anker Engelunds Vej 101, Kongens Lyngby 2800, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0219525923400027BIB001","first-page":"1981","volume":"9","author":"Airoldi E.
