Learning the "blocking" structure is a central challenge for high dimensional data (e.g., gene expression data). Recently, a sparse singular value decomposition (SVD) has been used as a biclustering tool to achieve this goal. However, this model ignores the structural information between variables (e.g., gene interacti…
