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.

Innovation as Creative Response. Determinants of Innovation in the Swedish Manufacturing Industry, 1970-2007

Josef Taalbi
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the driving forces of product innovations in Swedish manufacturing industry during the period 1970-2007, examining whether and how innovations have been the creative response to positive factors such as new opportunities and obstacles related to their exploitation, and negative factors, such as economic, environmental and organizational problems.

A local information based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for community detection in complex networks

TL;DR: A local information based MOEA, termed LMOEA, is proposed for community detection, where an individual updating strategy is suggested to improve the quality of community detection.

Web-based similarity for emotion recognition in web objects

TL;DR: Different from sentiment analysis, the approach works at a deeper level of abstraction, aiming to recognize specific emotions and not only the positive/negative sentiment, in order to predict emotions as semantic data.

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.
