A maximal clique based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm for overlapping community detection
Detecting community structure has become one im-portant technique for studying complex networks. Although many community detection algorithms have been proposed, most of them focus on separated communities, where each node can be-long to only one community. However, in many real-world net-works, communities are often overlapped with each other. De-veloping overlapping community detection algorithms thus be-comes necessary. Along this avenue, this paper proposes a maxi-mal clique based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm for over-lapping community detection. In this algorithm, a new represen-tation scheme based on the introduced maximal-clique graph is presented. Since the maximal-clique graph is defined by using a set of maximal cliques of original graph as nodes and two maximal cliques are allowed to share the same nodes of the original graph, overlap is an intrinsic property of the maximal-clique graph. Attributing to this property, the new representation scheme al-lows multiobjective evolutionary algorithms to handle the over-lapping community detection problem in a way similar to that of the separated community detection, such that the optimization problems are simplified. As a result, the proposed algorithm could detect overlapping community structure with higher partition accuracy and lower computational cost when compared with the existing ones. The experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm
Communities as Well Separated Subgraphs With Cohesive Cores: Identification of Core-Periphery Structures in Link Communities
Communities in networks are commonly considered as highly cohesive subgraphs
which are well separated from the rest of the network. However, cohesion and
separation often cannot be maximized at the same time, which is why a
compromise is sought by some methods. When a compromise is not suitable for the
problem to be solved it might be advantageous to separate the two criteria. In
this paper, we explore such an approach by defining communities as well
separated subgraphs which can have one or more cohesive cores surrounded by
peripheries. We apply this idea to link communities and present an algorithm
for constructing hierarchical core-periphery structures in link communities and
first test results.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, submitted version of a paper accepted for the

Community detection for networks with unipartite and bipartite structure
Finding community structures in networks is important in network science,
technology, and applications. To date, most algorithms that aim to find
community structures only focus either on unipartite or bipartite networks. A
unipartite network consists of one set of nodes and a bipartite network
consists of two nonoverlapping sets of nodes with only links joining the nodes
in different sets. However, a third type of network exists, defined here as the
mixture network. Just like a bipartite network, a mixture network also consists
of two sets of nodes, but some nodes may simultaneously belong to two sets,
which breaks the nonoverlapping restriction of a bipartite network. The mixture
network can be considered as a general case, with unipartite and bipartite
networks viewed as its limiting cases. A mixture network can represent not only
all the unipartite and bipartite networks, but also a wide range of real-world
networks that cannot be properly represented as either unipartite or bipartite
networks in fields such as biology and social science. Based on this
observation, we first propose a probabilistic model that can find modules in
unipartite, bipartite, and mixture networks in a unified framework based on the
link community model for a unipartite undirected network [B Ball et al (2011
Phys. Rev. E 84 036103)]. We test our algorithm on synthetic networks (both
overlapping and nonoverlapping communities) and apply it to two real-world
networks: a southern women bipartite network and a human transcriptional
regulatory mixture network. The results suggest that our model performs well
for all three types of networks, is competitive with other algorithms for
unipartite or bipartite networks, and is applicable to real-world networks.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures.

Bi-Objective Community Detection (BOCD) in Networks using Genetic Algorithm
A lot of research effort has been put into community detection from all
corners of academic interest such as physics, mathematics and computer science.
In this paper I have proposed a Bi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for community
detection which maximizes modularity and community score. Then the results
obtained for both benchmark and real life data sets are compared with other
algorithms using the modularity and MNI performance metrics. The results show
that the BOCD algorithm is capable of successfully detecting community
structure in both real life and synthetic datasets, as well as improving upon
the performance of previous techniques.Comment: 11 pages, 3 Figures, 3 Tables. arXiv admin note: substantial text

Deep Learning in Social Networks for Overlappering Community Detection
The collection of nodes is termed as community in any network system that are tightly associated to the other nodes. In network investigation, identifying the community structure is crucial task, particularly for exposing connections between certain nodes. For community overlapping, network discovery, there are numerous methodologies described in the literature. Numerous scholars have recently focused on network embedding and feature learning techniques for node clustering. These techniques translate the network into a representation space with fewer dimensions. In this paper, a deep neural network-based model for learning graph representation and stacked auto-encoders are given a nonlinear embedding of the original graph to learn the model. In order to extract overlapping communities, an AEOCDSN algorithm is used. The efficiency of the suggested model is examined through experiments on real-world datasets of various sizes and accepted standards. The method outperforms various well-known community detection techniques, according to empirical findings
