Most networks found in social and biochemical systems have modular structures. An important question prompted by the modularity of these networks is whether nodes can be said to belong to a single group. If they cannot, we would need to…
This paper introduces the concept of a bi-scale metric for use in the cooperative phase of the self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm. Use of a bi-scale metric allows segmentation of the map into a number of regions, corresponding to…
Knowledge Graphs (KG) constitute a flexible representation of complex relationships between entities particularly useful for biomedical data. These KG, however, are very sparse with many missing edges (facts) and the visualisation of the…
In some applications and in order to address real world situations better, data may be more complex than simple vectors. In some examples, they can be known through their pairwise dissimilarities only. Several variants of the Self…
A particular challenge in the area of social media analysis is how to find communities within a larger network of social interactions. Here a community may be a group of microblogging users who post content on a coherent topic, or who are…
The analysis of multilayer networks is among the most active areas of network science, and there are now several methods to detect dense "communities" of nodes in multilayer networks. One way to define a community is as a set of nodes that…
Community detection is considered as a fundamental task in analyzing social networks. Even though many techniques have been proposed for community detection, most of them are based exclusively on the connectivity structures. However, there…
In this paper we present an original approach for community detection in complex networks. The approach belongs to the family of seed-centric algorithms. However, instead of expanding communities around selected seeds as most of existing…
We introduce a new algorithm for modularity-based community detection in large networks. The algorithm, which we refer to as a smart local moving algorithm, takes advantage of a well-known local moving heuristic that is also used by other…
A network's topology information can be given as an adjacency matrix. The bitmap of sorted adjacency matrix(BOSAM) is a network visualisation tool which can emphasise different network structures by just looking at reordered adjacent…
Clustering and community detection with multiple graphs have typically focused on aligned graphs, where there is a mapping between nodes across the graphs (e.g., multi-view, multi-layer, temporal graphs). However, there are numerous…
Detecting communities, densely connected groups may contribute to unravel the underlying relationships among the units present in diverse biological networks (e.g., interactome, coexpression networks, ecological networks, etc.). We recently…
The detection of community structure is probably one of the hottest trends in complex network research as it reveals the internal organization of people, molecules or processes behind social, biological or computer networks\dots The issue…
Many real-world complex networks exhibit a community structure, in which the modules correspond to actual functional units. Identifying these communities is a key challenge for scientists. A common approach is to search for the network…
In this paper we address an important economic question. Is there, as mainstream economic theory asserts it, an homogeneous labor market with mechanisms which govern supply and demand for work, producing an equilibrium with its remarkable…
Cellular manufacturing (CM) is an approach that includes both flexibility of job shops and high production rate of flow lines. Although CM provides many benefits in reducing throughput times, setup times, work-in-process inventories but the…
We present a system comprising a hybridization of self-organized map (SOM) properties with spiking neural networks (SNNs) that retain many of the features of SOMs. Networks are trained in an unsupervised manner to learn a self-organized…
Texture is one of the most important properties of visual surface that helps in discriminating one object from another or an object from background. The self-organizing map (SOM) is an excellent tool in exploratory phase of data mining. It…
The issue of network community detection has been extensively studied across many fields. Most community detection methods assume that nodes belong to only one community. However, in many cases, nodes can belong to multiple communities…
We study the structure of social networks of students by examining the graphs of Facebook "friendships" at five American universities at a single point in time. We investigate each single-institution network's community structure and employ…
