TLDR
An algorithm is described which gives excellent results when tested on both computer-generated and real-world networks and is much faster, typically thousands of times faster, than previous algorithms.
Abstract
Many networks display community structure--groups of vertices within which connections are dense but between which they are sparser--and sensitive computer algorithms have in recent years been developed for detecting this structure. These algorithms, however, are computationally demanding, which limits their application to small networks. Here we describe an algorithm which gives excellent results when tested on both computer-generated and real-world networks and is much faster, typically thousands of times faster, than previous algorithms. We give several example applications, including one to a collaboration network of more than 50,000 physicists.

Exploring Community Smells in Open-Source: An Automated Approach

TL;DR: It is highlighted that community smells are highly diffused in open-source and are perceived by developers as relevant problems for the evolution of software communities, and a number of state-of-the-art socio-technical indicators can be used to monitor how healthy a community is and possibly avoid the emergence of social debt.

Computational modeling of phonetic and lexical learning in early language acquisition: Existing models and future directions

TL;DR: This work reviews a number of existing computational studies concentrated on the question of how spoken language can be learned from continuous speech in the absence of linguistically or phonetically motivated background knowledge, a situation faced by human infants when they first attempt to learn their native language.

Bibliometric analysis of service innovation research: Identifying knowledge domain and global network of knowledge

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a methodology to determine the structure and geographical distribution of knowledge, as well as reveal the structure of research collaboration in such an interdisciplinary area as service innovation by performing journal information analysis, citation network analysis and visualization.

An improved memetic algorithm for community detection in complex networks

TL;DR: The improved memetic algorithm called (iMeme-Net) is put forward for solving community detection problems by introducing a Population Generation via Label Propagation, an Elitism Strategy and an Improved Simulated Annealing Combined Local Search strategy.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

Community structure in social and biological networks

TL;DR: This article proposes a method for detecting communities, built around the idea of using centrality indices to find community boundaries, and tests it on computer-generated and real-world graphs whose community structure is already known and finds that the method detects this known structure with high sensitivity and reliability.

Finding and evaluating community structure in networks.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the algorithms proposed are highly effective at discovering community structure in both computer-generated and real-world network data, and can be used to shed light on the sometimes dauntingly complex structure of networked systems.
