We validate<br \/>\nour modeling assumptions by demonstrating that our model achieves better link<br \/>\nprediction performance than three state-of-the-art network models and exhibits<br \/>\ntopic coherence comparable to that of latent Dirichlet allocation. We showcase<br \/>\nour model\u2019s ability to discover and visualize topic-specific communication patterns<br \/>\nusing a new email data set: the New Hanover County email network. We provide an<br \/>\nextensive analysis of these communication patterns, leading us to recommend our<br \/>\nmodel for any exploratory analysis of email networks or other similarly-structured<br \/>\ncommunication data.
