As a fundamental structure in real-world networks, in addition to graph topology, communities can also be reflected by abundant node attributes. In attributed community detection, probabilistic generative models (PGMs) have become the…

We present a probabilistic generative model and efficient algorithm to model reciprocity in directed networks. Unlike other methods that address this problem such as exponential random graphs, it assigns latent variables as community…

Let $N$ components be partitioned into two communities, denoted ${\cal P}_+$ and ${\cal P}_-$, possibly of different sizes. Assume that they are connected via a directed and weighted Erd\"os-R\'enyi (DWER) random graph with unknown…

Social relationships can be divided into different classes based on the regularity with which they occur and the similarity among them. Thus, rare and somewhat similar relationships are random and cause noise in a social network, thus…

Social networks facilitate the social space where actors or the users have ties among them. The ties and their patterns are based on their life styles and communication. Similarly, in online social media networks like Facebook, Twitter,…

Local network community detection aims to find a single community in a large network, while inspecting only a small part of that network around a given seed node. This is much cheaper than finding all communities in a network. Most methods…
