Mining community structures from the complex network is an important problem across a variety of fields. Many existing community detection methods detect communities through optimizing a community evaluation function. However, most of these…

Community detection methods play a central role in understanding complex networks by revealing highly connected subsets of entities. However, most community detection algorithms generate partitions of the nodes, thus (i) forcing every node…

Community structure is one of the most important properties of networks. Most community algorithms are not suitable for large networks because of their time consuming. In fact there are lots of networks with millons even billons of nodes.…

Community detection is a significant and challenging task in network research. Nowadays, plenty of attention has been focused on local methods of community detection. Among them, community detection with a greedy algorithm typically starts…

Dynamic community detection provides a coherent description of network clusters over time, allowing one to track the growth and death of communities as the network evolves. However, modularity maximization, a popular method for performing…

Modularity was introduced as a measure of goodness for the community structure induced by a partition of the set of vertices in a graph. Then, it also became an objective function used to find good partitions, with high success.…

Many networks display community structure which identifies groups of nodes within which connections are denser than between them. Detecting and characterizing such community structure, which is known as community detection, is one of the…

We propose a general form of community detecting functions for finding the communities or the optimal partition of a random network, and examine the concentration and stability of the function values using the bounded difference martingale…

Network community detection often relies on optimizing partition quality functions, like modularity. This optimization appears to be a complex problem traditionally relying on discrete heuristics. And although the problem could be…

The identification of community structure in a social network is an important problem tackled in the literature of network analysis. There are many solutions to this problem using a static scenario, when facing a dynamic scenario some…

Community detection is the task of identifying clusters or groups of nodes in a network where nodes within the same group are more connected with each other than with nodes in different groups. It has practical uses in identifying similar…

Social network analysis is a popular discipline among the social and behavioural sciences, in which the relationships between different social entities are modelled as a network. One of the most popular problems in social network analysis…

Community-aware centrality is an emerging research area in network science concerned with the importance of nodes in relation to community structure. Measures are a function of a network's structure and a given partition. Previous…

Complex networks are intrinsically modular. Resolving small modules is particularly difficult when the network is densely connected; wide variation of link weights invites additional complexities. In this article we present an algorithm to…

We study how to detect groups in a complex network each of which consists of component nodes sharing a similar connection pattern. Based on the mixture models and the exploratory analysis set up by Newman and Leicht (Newman and Leicht 2007…

Communities play a crucial role to describe and analyse modern networks. However, the size of those networks has grown tremendously with the increase of computational power and data storage. While various methods have been developed to…

Many algorithms to detect communities in networks typically work without any information on the cluster structure to be found, as one has no a priori knowledge of it, in general. Not surprisingly, knowing some features of the unknown…

There has been a surge of interest in community detection in homogeneous single-relational networks which contain only one type of nodes and edges. However, many real-world systems are naturally described as heterogeneous multi-relational…

In this paper, we propose a scalable community detection algorithm using hypergraph modularity function, h-Louvain. It is an adaptation of the classical Louvain algorithm in the context of hypergraphs. We observe that a direct application…

Most methods proposed to uncover communities in complex networks rely on their structural properties. Here we introduce the stability of a network partition, a measure of its quality defined in terms of the statistical properties of a…
