Community Detection as an Inference Problem

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v1 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

We express community detection as an inference problem of determining the most likely arrangement of communities. We then apply belief propagation and mean-field theory to this problem, and show that this leads to fast, accurate algorithms for community detection.
