The problem of community detection in networks is usually formulated as finding a single partition of the network into some "correct" number of communities. We argue that it is more interpretable and in some regimes more accurate to…

This paper investigates community detection by modularity maximisation on bipartite networks. In particular we are interested in how the operation of projection, using one node set of the bipartite network to infer connections between nodes…

Many empirical networks have community structure, in which nodes are densely interconnected within each community (i.e., a group of nodes) and sparsely across different communities. Like other local and meso-scale structure of networks,…
