We present and discuss a mathematical procedure for identification of small "communities" or segments within large bipartite networks. The procedure is based on spectral analysis of the matrix encoding network structure. The principal tool here is localization of eigenvectors of the matrix, by means of which the relevant network segments become visible. We exemplified our approach by analyzing the data related to product reviewing on Amazon.com. We found several segments, a kind of hybrid communities of densely interlinked reviewers and products, which we were able to meaningfully interpret in terms of the type and thematic categorization of reviewed items. The method provides a complementary approach to other ways of community detection, typically aiming at identification of large network modules.

ABSTRACTThe development of single-cell technologies provides the opportunity to identify new cellular states and reconstruct novel cell-to-cell relationships. Applications range from understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic processes involved in metazoan development to characterizing distinct cells types in heterogeneous populations like cancers or immune cells. However, analysis of the data is impeded by its unknown intrinsic biological and technical variability together with its sparseness; these factors complicate the identification of true biological signals amidst artifact and noise. Here we show that, across technologies, roughly 95% of the eigenvalues derived from each single-cell data set can be described by universal distributions predicted by Random Matrix Theory. Interestingly, 5% of the spectrum shows deviations from these distributions and present a phenomenon known as eigenvector localization, where information tightly concentrates in groups of cells. Some of the localized eigenvectors reflect underlying biological signal, and some are simply a consequence of the sparsity of single cell data; roughly 3% is artifactual. Based on the universal distributions and a technique for detecting sparsity induced localization, we present a strategy to identify the residual 2% of directions that encode biological information and thereby denoise single-cell data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by comparing with standard single-cell data analysis techniques in a variety of examples with marked cell populations.
