Finding mesoscopic communities in sparse networks.

چکیده
We suggest a fast method for finding possibly overlapping network communities of a desired size and link density. Our method is a natural generalization of the finite-T superparamagnetic Potts clustering introduced by Blatt et al (1996 Phys. Rev. Lett.76 3251) and the annealing of the Potts model with a global antiferromagnetic term recently suggested by Reichard and Bornholdt (2004 Phys. Rev. Lett.93 21870). Like in both cited works, the proposed generalization is based on ordering of the ferromagnetic Potts model; the novelty of the proposed approach lies in the adjustable dependence of the antiferromagnetic term on the population of each Potts state, which interpolates between the two previously considered cases. This adjustability allows one to empirically tune the algorithm to detect the maximum number of communities of the given size and link density. We illustrate the method by detecting protein complexes in high-throughput protein binding networks.

Overlapping Community Detection in Social Networks Based on Stochastic Simulation
Community detection is a task of fundamental importance in social network analysis. Community structures enable us to discover the hidden interactions among the network entities and summarize the network information that can be applied in many applied domains such as bioinformatics, finance, e-commerce and forensic science. There exist a variety of methods for community detection based on diffe...

One of the great challenges in Social Network Analysis (SNA) is community detection. Community is a group of vertices which have high intra connections and sparse inter connections. Community detection or Clustering reveals community structure of social networks and hidden relationships among their constituents. By considering the increase of datasets related to social networks, we need scalabl...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach Toward Finding Communities and Their Evolutions in Dynamic Social Networks
Although a large body of work are devoted to finding communities in static social networks, only a few studies examined the dynamics of communities in evolving social networks. In this paper, we propose a dynamic stochastic block model for finding communities and their evolutions in a dynamic social network. The proposed model captures the evolution of communities by explicitly modeling the tra...
متن کاملFinding communities in sparse networks
Spectral algorithms based on matrix representations of networks are often used to detect communities, but classic spectral methods based on the adjacency matrix and its variants fail in sparse networks. New spectral methods based on non-backtracking random walks have recently been introduced that successfully detect communities in many sparse networks. However, the spectrum of non-backtracking ...
متن کاملLeveraging disjoint communities for detecting overlapping community structure
Network communities represent mesoscopic structure for understanding the organization of real-world networks, where nodes often belong to multiple communities and form overlapping community structure in the network. Due to non-triviality in finding the exact boundary of such overlapping communities, this problem has become challenging, and therefore huge effort has been devoted to detect overla...
