In this work we give a community detection algorithm in which the communities both respects the intrinsic order of a directed acyclic graph and also finds similar nodes. We take inspiration from classic similarity measures of bibliometrics,…

Current community detection algorithms operate by optimizing a statistic called modularity, which analyzes the distribution of positively weighted edges in a network. Modularity does not account for negatively weighted edges. This paper…
