Community detection is one of the most important problems in network analysis. Among many algorithms proposed for this task, methods based on statistical inference are of particular interest: they are mathematically sound and were shown to…

The generalized version of modularity for multilayer networks, a.k.a. multislice modularity, is characterized by two model parameters, namely resolution factor and inter-layer coupling factor. The former corresponds to a notion of…

Modularity based community detection encompasses a number of widely used, efficient heuristics for identification of structure in networks. Recently, a belief propagation approach to modularity optimization provided a useful guide for…

Starting from a general \textit{ansatz}, we show how community detection can be interpreted as finding the ground state of an infinite range spin glass. Our approach applies to weighted and directed networks alike. It contains the…

We survey the application of a relatively new branch of statistical physics--"community detection"-- to data mining. In particular, we focus on the diagnosis of materials and automated image segmentation. Community detection describes the…

Community detection is a crucial task to unravel the intricate dynamics of online social networks. The emergence of these networks has dramatically increased the volume and speed of interactions among users, presenting researchers with…

Finding community structures in social networks is considered to be a challenging task as many of the proposed algorithms are computationally expensive and does not scale well for large graphs. Most of the community detection algorithms…

The joint use of node features and network topology to detect communities is called community detection in attributed networks. Most of the existing work along this line has been carried out through objective function optimization and has…

Community structure identification has been one of the most popular research areas in recent years due to its applicability to the wide scale of disciplines. To detect communities in varied topics, there have been many algorithms proposed…

Community detection is a key tool for analyzing the structure of large networks. Standard methods, such as modularity optimization, focus on identifying densely connected groups but often overlook natural local separations in the graph. In…

Community detection, which involves partitioning nodes within a network, has widespread applications across computational sciences. Modularity-based algorithms identify communities by attempting to maximize the modularity function across…

Communities are not static; they evolve, split and merge, appear and disappear, i.e. they are product of dynamical processes that govern the evolution of the network. A good algorithm for community detection should not only quantify the…

Community structure is pervasive in various real-world networks, portraying the strong local clustering of nodes. Unveiling the community structure of a network is deemed to a crucial step towards understanding the dynamics on the network.…

Detecting clusters or communities in large real-world graphs such as large social or information networks is a problem of considerable interest. In practice, one typically chooses an objective function that captures the intuition of a…

Community detection for large networks poses challenges due to the high computational cost as well as heterogeneous community structures. In this paper, we consider widely existing real-world networks with ``grouped communities'' (or ``the…

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…

Modularity is a popular metric for quantifying the degree of community structure within a network. The distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a network's edge weight or adjacency matrix is well studied and is frequently used as a…

Brain networks are expected to be modular. However, existing techniques for estimating a network's modules make it difficult to assess the influence of organizational principles such as wiring cost reduction on the detected modules. Here,…

Complex networks of real-world systems are believed to be controlled by common phenomena, producing structures far from regular or random. Clustering, community structure and assortative mixing by degree are perhaps among most prominent…

Graph theoretical analysis of the community structure of networks attempts to identify the communities (or modules) to which each node affiliates. However, this is in most cases an ill-posed problem, as the affiliation of a node to a single…
