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.

Precision Functional Mapping of Individual Human Brains

TL;DR: A novel MRI dataset containing 5 hr of RSFC data, 6 hour of task fMRI, multiple structural MRIs, and neuropsychological tests from each of ten adults generated ten high-fidelity, individual-specific functional connectomes, revealing several new types of spatial and organizational variability in brain networks.

Communities in Networks

TL;DR: A survey of the concepts, methods, and applications of community detection can be found in this paper, where the authors provide a guide to available methodology and open problems, and discuss why scientists from diverse backgrounds are interested in these problems.

Finding local community structure in networks.

TL;DR: This work defines both a measure of local community structure and an algorithm that infers the hierarchy of communities that enclose a given vertex by exploring the graph one vertex at a time, and uses this algorithm to extract meaningful local clustering information in the large recommender network of an online retailer.

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.
