Post-Processing Partitions to Identify Domains of Modularity Optimization
2017
Algorithms
Given a set of partitions, CHAMP identifies the domain of modularity optimization for each partition ---i.e., the parameter-space domain where it has the largest modularity relative to the input set--- ...
We introduce the Convex Hull of Admissible Modularity Partitions (CHAMP) algorithm to prune and prioritize different network community structures identified across multiple runs of possibly various computational ...

2011 IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop (SSP)
We characterize the anomaly in a subgraph via the well-known notion of network modularity, and we show that the optimization problem formulation resulting from our setup is very similar to a recently introduced ...

Detecting communities using asymptotical surprise
2015
Physical Review E
Methods to detect these groups of nodes usually maximize an objective function, which implicitly contains the definition of a community. ...
This allows for the development of an efficient algorithm for optimizing surprise. Incidentally, this leads to a straightforward extension of surprise to weighted graphs. ...
Finally, We show the good performance of Surprise maximization for community detection, especially in large graphs with small communities. ...

Modularity and Mutual Information in Networks: Two Sides of the Same Coin
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Previous work on modularity has developed many efficient algorithms for modularity maximization. However, few of researchers considered the interpretation of the modularity function itself. ...
It can serve as both a standard benchmark to compare different community detection algorithms, and an optimization objective to detect communities itself. ...
Related Work Modularity was first proposed by [Newman and Girvan, 2004] as a stop criterion for another community detection algorithm. ...

Additive Approximation Algorithms for Modularity Maximization
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Community detection in graphs is now often conducted through modularity maximization: given an undirected graph G=(V,E), we are asked to find a partition C of V that maximizes the modularity. ...
The modularity is a quality function in community detection, which was introduced by Newman and Girvan (2004). ...
Quality functions in community detection return some value that represents the community-degree for a given partition of the set of vertices. ...

Applications of reformulations in mathematical programming

The third application considered in the thesis is that of computing the convex relaxation for multilinear problems, and to compare the "primal" formulation and another one obtained using a "dual" representation ...
The first problem tackled herein is graph clustering by means of modularity maximization. Since this problem is NP-hard, several heuristics are proposed. ...
However, modularity maximization remains a very interesting criterion for the detection of clusters; for the goal of this thesis, one of its most interesting properties is the fact that it can be described ...
