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.

Mining Graph Topological Patterns: Finding Covariations among Vertex Descriptors

TL;DR: An efficient algorithm that combines search and pruning strategies to look for the most relevant topological patterns is presented and three interestingness measures ofTopological patterns that differ by the pairs of vertices considered while evaluating up and down co-variations between vertex descriptors are proposed.

Fast Multi-Scale Detection of Relevant Communities in Large-Scale Networks

TL;DR: A method compatible with global and local criteria that enables fast multi-scale community detection on large networks and suggests that global criteria seem to be more robust to noise and thus more accurate than local criteria.

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.
