چکیده

Techniques for drawing graphs have proven successful in producing good layouts of undirected graphs. When nodes must be labeled however, the problem of overlapping nodes arises, particularly in dynamic graph visualization. Providing a formal description of this problem, this paper presents a new approach called the Force-Transfer algorithm that removes node overlaps. Compared to other methods, our algorithm is usually able to achieve a compact adjusted layout within a reasonable running time. 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A Framework of Filtering, Clustering and Dynamic Layout Graphs for Visualization

Many classical graph visualization algorithms have already been developed over the past decades. However, these algorithms face difficulties in practice, such as the overlapping node problem, large graph layout and dynamic graph layout. In order to solve these problems, this paper aims to systematically address algorithmic issues related to a novel framework that describes the process of graph ...

Detecting Overlapping Communities in Social Networks using Deep Learning

In network analysis, a community is typically considered of as a group of nodes with a great density of edges among themselves and a low density of edges relative to other network parts. Detecting a community structure is important in any network analysis task, especially for revealing patterns between specified nodes. There is a variety of approaches presented in the literature for overlapping...

Mining Overlapping Communities in Real-world Networks Based on Extended Modularity Gain

Detecting communities plays a vital role in studying group level patterns of a social network and it can be helpful in developing several recommendation systems such as movie recommendation, book recommendation, friend recommendation and so on. Most of the community detection algorithms can detect disjoint communities only, but in the real time scenario, a node can be a member of more than one ...

Force-Transfer: A New Approach to Removing Overlapping Nodes in Graph Layout

Graphs where each node includes an amount of text are often used in applications. A typical example of such graphs is UML diagrams used in CASE tools. To make text information in each node readable in displaying such graphs, it is required there should be no overlapping nodes. This paper proposes the ForceTransfer algorithm to give a new efficient approach to removing overlapping nodes. The pro...

Identifying overlapping communities using multi-agent collective intelligence

The proposed algorithm in this research is based on the multi-agent particle swarm optimization as a collective intelligence due to the connection between several simple components which enables them to regulate their behavior and relationships with the rest of the group according to certain rules. As a result, self-organizing in collective activities can be seen. Community structure is crucial...
