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.

The emergence of unshared consensus decisions in bottlenose dolphins

TL;DR: While side flops were performed by males that have greater knowledge than other male group members, this was not the case for females performing upside-down lobtails, and it could have been that a generally high knowledge about the optimal timing of travel terminations rendered it less important which individual female made the decision.

Object Mining Using a Matching Graph on Very Large Image Collections

TL;DR: This work focuses on grouping images containing the same object, despite significant changes in scale, viewpoint and partial occlusions, in very large image collections automatically gathered from Flicker, the largest dataset to which image-based data mining has been applied.

Choosing Wavelet Methods, Filters, and Lengths for Functional Brain Network Construction.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the choice of wavelet method and length significantly alters the reliability and sensitivity of these methods in estimating values of metrics drawn from graph theory, and demonstrate the importance of reporting the choices utilized in neuroimaging studies.

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.
