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.

Query Transformation Based on Semantic Centrality in Semantic Social Network1.

TL;DR: A new measurement of semantic centrality is proposed, i.e., the power of semantic bridging on semantic peer-to-peer environment, to build semantically cohesive user subgroups, so that semantic affinities between peers can be computed.

Community detection in complex networks

TL;DR: This work combines classic ideas in topic modeling with a variant of the mixed-membership block model recently developed in the statistical physics community, which has the advantage that its parameters can be inferred with a simple and scalable expectation-maximization algorithm.

Detecting overlapping communities in networks using the maximal sub-graph and the clustering coefficient

TL;DR: An alternate algorithm for detecting overlapping community structures in the complex network using the maximal sub-graph and the clustering coefficient and a new extended modularity is proposed to quantify this algorithm.

Hypergraph partitioning for social networks based on information entropy modularity

TL;DR: Findings show that EQHyperpart partitioners are more scalable than competing approaches, achieving a tradeoff between modularity retaining and cut size minimizing under balance constraints, and an auto-tradeoff without balance constraints for hypergraph modeled social networks.

Community detection in networks via a spectral heuristic based on the clustering coefficient

TL;DR: A spectral heuristic based on a measure known as clustering coefficient to detect communities in networks, which favors clusterings with a strong neighborhood structure inside clusters, apparently, overcoming the scale deficiency of the modularity maximization problem.

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.

The Structure and Function of Complex Networks

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.
