Abstract

With the social networks getting increasingly larger, fast community detection algorithms like the label propagation algorithm, are attracting more attention. But the label propagation algorithm deals vertices with no proper weight, which leads to the loss in the performance. We propose the connection factor of the vertex to measure its influence on the local connectivity. The connection factor can reveal the topological structure feature, and we propose a unified weight to modify the original label propagation algorithm. Experiments show that our Unified Weighted LPA has an average performance promotion from 5 % to 10 %, in the best case more than 30 %.
