On the Multi-Dimensional Acceleration of Stochastic Blockmodeling for Community Detection
Frank Wanye,

Abstract:Stochastic block partitioning (SBP) is a community detection algorithm that is highly accurate even on graphs with a complex community structure. However, SBP is much slower than more commonly used algorithms, such as Louvain, making SBP impractical for analyzing large real-world graphs with millions of edges. Thus, we aim to realize fast and accurate community detection on large graphs by accelerating the highly accurate SBP algorithm via sampling, parallel and distributed computing on a cluster as well as al… Show more
