A relevant, sometimes overlooked, quality criterion for communities in graphs is that they should be well-connected in addition to being edge-dense. Prior work has shown that leading community detection methods can produce poorly-connected…
Most existing approaches for community detection require complete information of the graph in a specific scale, which is impractical for many social networks. We propose a novel algorithm that does not embrace the universal approach but…
This is the first of two complementary works in which we analyze the connected components of the degree-corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM). Our model is a random graph with an underlying community structure and degree in-homogeneity.…
