Fast community structure local uncovering by independent vertex-centred process

Abstract

This paper addresses the task of community detection and proposes a local approach based on a distributed list building, where each vertex broadcasts basic information that only depends on its degree and that of its neighbours. A decentralised external process then unveils the community structure. The relevance of the proposed method is experimentally shown on both artificial and real data.Comment: 2015 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining, Aug 2015, Paris, France.
