A Comprehensive Review of Overlapping Community Detection Algorithms for Social Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Community structure is an interesting feature found in many social networks which signifies that there is intense interaction between some individuals. These communities have a tendency to overlap with each other as there are nodes that can belong to multiple communities simultaneously. Detection of such overlapping communities is a challenging task; it still remains a topic of interest for the researchers as it answers many questions about the behavior of the network and its operation as a function of its structure. This paper reviews overlapping community detection techniques proposed so far and points out their strengths and weaknesses. The paper also presents insightful characteristics and limitations of the existing state of art algorithms to solve the problem of overlapping community detection. Keywords—Overlapping Community detection, Online Social Networks, Complex Networks, Community

Overlapping Community Detection in Social Networks Based on Stochastic Simulation
Community detection is a task of fundamental importance in social network analysis. Community structures enable us to discover the hidden interactions among the network entities and summarize the network information that can be applied in many applied domains such as bioinformatics, finance, e-commerce and forensic science. There exist a variety of methods for community detection based on diffe...
متن کاملMining Overlapping Communities in Real-world Networks Based on Extended Modularity Gain
Detecting communities plays a vital role in studying group level patterns of a social network and it can be helpful in developing several recommendation systems such as movie recommendation, book recommendation, friend recommendation and so on. Most of the community detection algorithms can detect disjoint communities only, but in the real time scenario, a node can be a member of more than one ...
متن کاملDetecting Overlapping Communities in Social Networks using Deep Learning
In network analysis, a community is typically considered of as a group of nodes with a great density of edges among themselves and a low density of edges relative to other network parts. Detecting a community structure is important in any network analysis task, especially for revealing patterns between specified nodes. There is a variety of approaches presented in the literature for overlapping...

متن کاملA Review on Overlapping Community Detection Algorithms
Community structure is an important feature of complex networks and social network communities refer to groups of individuals within which social interactions are intense and between which they are weak. Community detection algorithms answer a wide range of questions regarding the behavior and interaction patterns of people. Usually, communities in social network can overlap with each other. De...
