TLDR
A hierarchical agglomeration algorithm for detecting community structure which is faster than many competing algorithms: its running time on a network with n vertices and m edges is O (md log n) where d is the depth of the dendrogram describing the community structure.Abstract:
The discovery and analysis of community structure in networks is a topic of considerable recent interest within the physics community, but most methods proposed so far are unsuitable for very large networks because of their computational cost. Here we present a hierarchical agglomeration algorithm for detecting community structure which is faster than many competing algorithms: its running time on a network with n vertices and m edges is O (md log n) where d is the depth of the dendrogram describing the community structure. Many real-world networks are sparse and hierarchical, with m approximately n and d approximately log n, in which case our algorithm runs in essentially linear time, O (n log(2) n). As an example of the application of this algorithm we use it to analyze a network of items for sale on the web site of a large on-line retailer, items in the network being linked if they are frequently purchased by the same buyer. The network has more than 400 000 vertices and 2 x 10(6) edges. We show that our algorithm can extract meaningful communities from this network, revealing large-scale patterns present in the purchasing habits of customers.read more

Clustering analysis of water distribution systems: identifying critical components and community impacts
TL;DR: This paper introduces a clustering strategy that decomposes WDSs into clusters with stronger internal connections than external connections, and provides similar criticality prioritizations of them in a more computationally efficient time.

Multiscale Community Blockmodel for Network Exploration
TL;DR: A nonparametric multiscale community blockmodel (MSCB) is proposed to model the generation of hierarchies in social communities, selective membership of actors to subsets of these communities, and the resultant networks due to within- and cross-community interactions.

TL;DR: Compared the connectomes of adolescent socially-isolated mice and normal-housed controls via diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, it is revealed that adolescent social isolation may primarily disrupt the orbitofrontal cortex and its neural pathways thereby contributing to an abnormal structural connectome.

A Complex Networks Approach for Data Clustering
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared different metrics for quantifying the similarity between objects and take into account three community finding techniques, Chebyshev distance, Manhattan distance, and greedy optimization.

Socioeconomic status updates
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and social capital and found that higher SES relates to larger and denser networks, but not to networks with more clusters.

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.

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.

TL;DR: Developments in this field are reviewed, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.
