Thanks for the reply. However, unfortunately this doesn't help to me. I
have seen those papers and I think the algorithm in the first paper is
in-built in graph-tool. Also, overlap = False is the default argument for
the minimize_blockmodel and hence what I was doing is no different than
what you said.
