K-means like approach

M3 36 42 34 39
S2 1 13 1 16 1 20
M3 36 42 34 39 32 35
Main problems/challenges:
o Size of the network (k-means-like and stochastic
approaches might be a solution)
o Weighing (especially of the two-mode networks)
o Appropriate models (blocks, penalties) for spares two-
mode, especially "same time" networks.
