Presents an analysis of the structure of mixed-membership models into elementary blocks and their numerical properties. By associating such model structures with structures known or assumed in the data, we propose how models can be constructed in a controlled way, using the numerical properties of data likelihood and Gibbs full conditionals as predictors of model behavior. To illustrate this “bottom-up” design method, example models are constructed that may be used for expertise finding from labeled data.
