Community detection, as well as the identification of other structures like core periphery and disassortative patterns, is an important topic in network analysis. While most methods seek to find the best partition of the network according…

Community structure in networks is observed in many different domains, and unsupervised community detection has received a lot of attention in the literature. Increasingly the focus of network analysis is shifting towards using network…

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…

Community detection is one of the pivotal tools for discovering the structure of complex networks. Majority of community detection methods rely on optimization of certain quality functions characterizing the proposed community structure.…

In this paper we present a novel strategy to discover the community structure of (possibly, large) networks. This approach is based on the well-know concept of network modularity optimization. To do so, our algorithm exploits a novel…

The task of \emph{community detection} in a graph formalizes the intuitive task of grouping together subsets of vertices such that vertices within clusters are connected tighter than those in disparate clusters. This paper approaches…

Community detection is a task of fundamental importance in social network analysis that can be used in a variety of knowledge-based domains. While there exist many works on community detection based on connectivity structures, they suffer…

Community detection is key to understand the structure of complex networks. However, the lack of appropriate evaluation strategies for this specific task may produce biased and incorrect results that might invalidate further analyses or…

Community detection refers to finding densely connected groups of nodes in graphs. In important applications, such as cluster analysis and network modelling, the graph is sparse but outliers and heavy-tailed noise may obscure its structure.…

We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model to identify communities in networks for which we do not observe the edges directly, but instead observe a series of interdependent signals for each of the nodes. Fitting the model provides an…

Detecting community structure in social networks is a fundamental problem empowering us to identify groups of actors with similar interests. There have been extensive works focusing on finding communities in static networks, however, in…

Heterogeneity characterises real-world networks, where nodes show a broad range of different topological features. However, nodes also tend to organise into communities -- subsets of nodes that are sparsely inter-connected but are densely…

Real-world networks usually have community structure, that is, nodes are grouped into densely connected communities. Community detection is one of the most popular and best-studied research topics in network science and has attracted…

Community detection is a fundamental problem in network analysis which is made more challenging by overlaps between communities which often occur in practice. Here we propose a general, flexible, and interpretable generative model for…

Networks and data supported on graphs have become ubiquitous in the sciences and engineering. This paper studies the 'blind' community detection problem, where we seek to infer the community structure of a graph model given the observation…

Community detection algorithms have been widely used to study the organization of complex systems like the brain. A principal appeal of these techniques is their ability to identify a partition of brain regions (or nodes) into communities,…

Community detection is a very active field in complex networks analysis, consisting in identifying groups of nodes more densely interconnected relatively to the rest of the network. The existing algorithms are usually tested and compared on…

Complex data in social and natural sciences find effective representation through networks, wherein quantitative and categorical information can be associated with nodes and connecting edges. The internal structure of networks can be…

Community detection plays a crucial role in understanding the structural organization of complex networks. Previous methods, particularly those from statistical physics, primarily focus on the analysis of mesoscopic network structures and…

A fundamental problem in the analysis of network data is the detection of network communities, groups of densely interconnected nodes, which may be overlapping or disjoint. Here we describe a method for finding overlapping communities based…
