- Abstract:
-
Community detection is important for understanding complex networks. Because of its high complexity, community detection in complex networks has recently attracted significant interest from research groups. In this work, a data analysis perspective was proposed for community detection on complex networks. First, based on the network topology, the nodes of the studied network were projected as data points in a highdimensional space, and the network was associated with a data cloud. Second, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the highdimensional data cloud into a lowdimensional one, which kept the main structural information. Third, Kmeans algorithms were used to find clusters of the data points in the reduced data cloud, which inferred the communities of the studied network. Experiments on datasets DGG (2mode) and Zachary (1mode) indicated that the proposed method can reveal network communities effectively. The proposed method provided a novel perspective of the community detection of complex networks.
