Researchers have developed a novel two-stage estimator for clustering multi-layer networks under mixture block models. This method combines tensor-based initialization, node and sample splitting, and a likelihood-based refinement to achieve optimal network clustering error rates, even under extreme sparsity. The framework has been extended to handle count-weighted networks using a mixture multi-layer Poisson block model and has been demonstrated through numerical studies and real-data analyses. AI
