چکیده

In this paper, we propose a simple model of opinion dynamics to construct social networks, based on the algorithm of link rewiring of local attachment (RLA) and global attachment (RGA). Generality, the system does reach a steady state where all individuals’ opinion and the complex network structure are fixed. The RGA enhances the ability of consensus of opinion formation. Furthermore, by tuning a model parameter p, which governs the proportion of RLA and RGA, we find the formation of hierarchical structure in the social networks for p > pc. Here, pc is related to the complex network size N and the minimal coordination number 2K. The model also reproduces many features of large social networks, including the ”weak links” property. PACS: 87.23.Ge, 89.75.Fb

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...

An Optimized Firefly Algorithm based on Cellular Learning Automata for Community Detection in Social Networks

The structure of the community is one of the important features of social networks. A community is a sub graph which nodes have a lot of connections to nodes of inside the community and have very few connections to nodes of outside the community. The objective of community detection is to separate groups or communities that are linked more closely. In fact, community detection is the clustering...
