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.

Automated Sub-Zoning of Water Distribution Systems

TL;DR: This work presents a generic framework for improved analysis and management of WDS by partitioning the system into smaller (almost) independent sub-systems with balanced loads and minimal number of interconnections.

Emotional community detection in social networks

TL;DR: The need for an efficient and innovative methodology for community detection that will also leverage users’ behavior on emotional level is addressed and substantial evidence indicates that the proposed methodology creates influential enough communities.

Network-theoretic approach to sparsified discrete vortex dynamics

TL;DR: The sparsified-dynamics model developed with spectral graph theory requires a reduced number of vortex-to-vortex interactions but agrees well with the full nonlinear dynamics and conserves the invariants of discrete vortex dynamics.

Community Detection in Complex Networks via Clique Conductance.

TL;DR: This paper develops a novel community-detection method based on cliques, i.e., local complete subnetworks, and shows that the proposed method is guaranteed to detect near-optimal clusters in the bipartition case.

Functional atlas of the awake rat brain: A neuroimaging study of rat brain specialization and integration

TL;DR: These functional parcellations reveal the regional specialization of the rat brain, which exhibited high within‐parcel homogeneity and high reproducibility across animals, and provides compelling evidence that the cingulate cortex is a functional hub region conserved from rodents to humans.

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.

TL;DR: Developments in this field are reviewed, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.

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.
