TLDR
A modularity matrix plays a role in community detection similar to that played by the graph Laplacian in graph partitioning calculations, and a spectral measure of bipartite structure in networks and a centrality measure that identifies vertices that occupy central positions within the communities to which they belong are proposed.Abstract:
We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work indicates that a robust approach to this problem is the maximization of the benefit function known as ``modularity'' over possible divisions of a network. Here we show that this maximization process can be written in terms of the eigenspectrum of a matrix we call the modularity matrix, which plays a role in community detection similar to that played by the graph Laplacian in graph partitioning calculations. This result leads us to a number of possible algorithms for detecting community structure, as well as several other results, including a spectral measure of bipartite structure in networks and a centrality measure that identifies vertices that occupy central positions within the communities to which they belong. The algorithms and measures proposed are illustrated with applications to a variety of real-world complex networks.read more

Detection of node group membership in networks with group overlap
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce an ensemble of networks with overlapping groups, and apply three group identification methods (i.e., modularity maximization, k-clique percolation, and modularity-landscape surveying) to these networks.

Functional connectivity relationships predict similarities in task activation and pattern information during associative memory encoding
TL;DR: Brain networks are defined using resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) and functional similarity of regions within each network during an associative memory encoding task is quantified, suggesting that components of neural systems defined on the basis of RSFC share similar functional properties in terms of recruitment during cognitive tasks and information carried in voxel patterns.

Structure and stability of the coral microbiome in space and time.
TL;DR: It is found that microbial community dissimilarity increased with geographical distance, which indicates that regional processes such as dispersal limitation and spatiotemporal environmental heterogeneity also influence microbial community composition.

Community detection using Ant Colony Optimization
TL;DR: This paper proposes an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approach to address the community detection problem by maximizing the modularity measure, and proposes a new kind of heuristic based on the correlation between vertices.

Spectra of random graphs with community structure and arbitrary degrees.
TL;DR: The spectrum has two parts, a continuous spectral band, which can depart strongly from the classic semicircle form, and a set of outlying eigenvalues that indicate the presence of communities.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

The Strength of Weak Ties
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another, and the impact of this principle on diffusion of influence and information, mobility opportunity, and community organization is explored.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.
