Description: The network analysis plays an important role in numerous
        application domains including biomedicine. Estimation of the
        number of communities is a fundamental and critical issue in
        network analysis. Most existing studies assume that the number
        of communities is known a priori, or lack of rigorous
        theoretical guarantee on the estimation consistency. This
        method proposes a regularized network embedding model to
        simultaneously estimate the community structure and the number
        of communities in a unified formulation. The proposed model
        equips network embedding with a novel composite regularization
        term, which pushes the embedding vector towards its center and
        collapses similar community centers with each other. A rigorous
        theoretical analysis is conducted, establishing asymptotic
        consistency in terms of community detection and estimation of
        the number of communities. Reference: Ren, M., Zhang S. and
