Label propagation method based on bi-objective optimization for ambiguous community detection in large networks.


ABSTRACT: Community detection is of great significance because it serves as a basis for network research and has been widely applied in real-world scenarios. It has been proven that label propagation is a successful strategy for community detection in large-scale networks and local clustering coefficient can measure the degree to which the local nodes tend to cluster together. In this paper, we try to optimize two objects about the local clustering coefficient to detect community structure. To avoid the trend that merges too many nodes into a large community, we add some constraints on the objectives. Through the experiments and comparison, we select a suitable strength for one constraint. Last, we merge two objectives with linear weighting into a hybrid objective and use the hybrid objective to guide the label update in our proposed label propagation algorithm. We perform amounts of experiments on both artificial and real-world networks. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm in both modularity and speed, especially when the community structure is ambiguous.
