Overlapping clustering is a fundamental and widely studied subject that identifies all densely connected groups of vertices and separates them from other vertices in complex networks. However, most conventional algorithms extract modules directly from the whole large-scale graph using various heuristics, resulting in either high time consumption or low accuracy. To address this issue, we develop an overlapping community detection approach in Ego-Splitting networks using symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (ESNMF). It primarily divides the whole network into many sub-graphs under the premise of preserving the clustering property, then extracts the well-connected sub-sub-graph round each community seed as prior information to supplement symmetric adjacent matrix, and finally identifies precise communities via nonnegative matrix factorization in each sub-network. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks of publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for community detection in large-scale networks.

There is a wealth of information in real-world social networks. In addition to the topology information, the vertices or edges of a social network often have attributes, with many of the overlapping vertices belonging to several communities simultaneously. It is challenging to fully utilize the additional attribute information to detect overlapping communities. In this paper, we first propose an overlapping community detection algorithm based on an augmented attribute graph. An improved weight adjustment strategy for attributes is embedded in the algorithm to help detect overlapping communities more accurately. Second, we enhance the algorithm to automatically determine the number of communities by a node-density-based fuzzy k-medoids process. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithms can effectively detect overlapping communities with fewer parameters compared to the baseline methods.

In this paper, based on Walktrap algorithm with the idea of random walk, and by selecting the neighbor communities, introducing improved signed probabilistic mixture (SPM) model and considering the edges within the community as positive links and the edges between the communities as negative links, a novel algorithm Walktrap-SPM for detecting overlapping community is proposed. This algorithm not only can identify the overlapping communities, but also can greatly increase the objectivity and accuracy of the results. In order to verify the accuracy, the performance of this algorithm is tested on several representative real-world networks and a set of computer-generated networks based on LFR benchmark. The experimental results indicate that this algorithm can identify the communities accurately, and it is more suitable for overlapping community detection. Compared with Walktrap, SPM and LMF algorithms, the presented algorithm can acquire higher values of modularity and NMI. Moreover, this new algorithm has faster running time than SPM and LMF algorithms.
