Abstract

Graphs are used to represent various large and complex networks in scientific applications. In order to understand the structure of these graphs, it is useful to treat a set of nodes with similar characteristics as one community and analyze the community's behavior as a whole. Finding all such communities within the graph is the object of community detection. In our research, we compare dozens of existing community detection methods and develop a new class of algorithms for finding communities.
