Efficient Identification of Overlapping Communities

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for finding overlapping communities in social networks. Our algorithm does not rely on the contents of the messages and uses the communication graph only. The knowledge of the structure of the communities is important for the analysis of social behavior and evolution of the society as a whole, as well as its individual members. This knowledge can be helpful in discovering groups of actors that hide their communications, possibly for malicious reasons. … Show more

“…In other words, each clusters have unique members, whereas in reality, people and objects can belong to multiple groups [15]. Recently, many researchers have proposed detecting uncovering algorithms such as [16]- [19], but they are often requiring large computation time and constraints.…”

“…Without this term, sparse areas of the graph can be added to a cluster quite easily resulting in very large communities with high diameters. The algorithm was seeded using the Link Aggregate algorithm described in [2]. The number of clusters produced after optimization via Iterative Scan, their average size, average density, and average edge probability are all shown in Figure 8.…”

“…Along with the rapid development of network clustering techniques, the ability of revealing overlaps between communities has become very important as well [86,9,39,83,31,89,57,71,52]. Indeed, communities in realworld graphs are often inherently overlapping: each person in a social web belongs usually to several groups (family, colleagues, friends, etc.…”
