SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTENT-AWARE CO-CLUSTERING ALGORITHM BASED ON HOURGLASS MODEL

A method for performing a network operation is disclosed. The method includes obtaining an association matrix representing association parameters between first entities and second entities of the network, generating a reduced matrix of the association matrix by aggregating the first entities into a reduced number of representative entities, partitioning a set containing the representative entities and the second entities into intermediate co-clusters based on a reduced-matrix based cohesiveness criterion, generating an expanded intermediate co-cluster from an intermediate co-cluster, partitioning the expanded intermediate co-cluster into final co-clusters based on an association-matrix based cohesiveness criterion, generating a profile of network activities based on the final co-clusters, and performing the network operation based on the profile of the network activities.
