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.

Flow Mapping and Multivariate Visualization of Large Spatial Interaction Data

TL;DR: The proposed approach can process relatively large data sets and effectively discover and visualize major flow structures and multivariate relations at the same time and is supported to facilitate the understanding of both an overview and detailed patterns.

Persistent Brain Network Homology From the Perspective of Dendrogram

TL;DR: A novel multiscale framework that models all brain networks generated over every possible threshold and is based on persistent homology and its various representations such as the Rips filtration, barcodes, and dendrograms to quantify various persistent topological features at different scales in a coherent manner.

Advanced modularity-specialized label propagation algorithm for detecting communities in networks

TL;DR: Experiments show that LPAm+ successfully detects communities with higher modularity values than ever reported in two commonly used real-world networks and offers a fair compromise between accuracy and speed.

Uncovering latent structure in valued graphs: A variational approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-based strategy to uncover groups of nodes in valued graphs is presented, which can be used for a wide span of parametric random graphs models and allows to include covariates.

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.
