12. When the type of every vertex is known, this structure can be measured by Freeman's segregation index S, which is (roughly speaking) the fraction cross-type edges missing in a graph, compared with a completely random graph - a graph that is close to bipartite would then have S<0.

43. Note that our starting point is that there are no known attributes to the vertices. If one would know, e.g., the gender of the actors in a social network, the fraction of edges between actors of the same gender is in the interval [0,1].
