Abstract

Bipartite networks is one of the important research object in complex networks. At present, the bipartite networks community partition is mainly aimed at how to carry out accurate community structure, while the study in the community merge strategy is relative rare. In this paper, we study community partition merger principle in single nodes of bipartite networks to propose an improved bipartite networks community detection method, which is based on Page Rank algorithm, information spreading probability model and combined with the modularity. The information of single nodes is calculated by information diffusion matrix. The value of information diffusion matrix larger than the threshold are merged every time, which quickly reduces the dimensions of the information diffusion matrix to speed up the merger of the community significantly. By comparing and analyzing experimental result of this method with other typical bipartite networks community partition algorithm on South women data set, We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
