The hypergraph community detection problem seeks to identify groups of related nodes in hypergraph data. We propose an information-theoretic hypergraph community detection algorithm which compresses the observed data in terms of community…

Heterogeneity characterises real-world networks, where nodes show a broad range of different topological features. However, nodes also tend to organise into communities -- subsets of nodes that are sparsely inter-connected but are densely…
