A "community" in a social network is usually understood to be a group of nodes more densely connected with each other than with the rest of the network. This is an important concept in most domains where networks arise: social,…

In community detection, datasets often suffer a sampling bias for which nodes which would normally have a high affinity appear to have zero affinity. This happens for example when two affine users of a social network were not exposed to one…

Hidden community is a useful concept proposed recently for social network analysis. To handle the rapid growth of network scale, in this work, we explore the detection of hidden communities from the local perspective, and propose a new…

Emergence of dominating cliques in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model ${\bbbg(n,p)}$ is investigated in this paper. It is shown this phenomenon possesses a phase transition. Namely, we have argued that, given a constant probability $p$, an…
