Abstract

A suitable state model can be retrieved from a Karhunen-Loeve Transformation to build a new decision process from which, we can extract useful knowledge and information about the identified underlying sub-communities from an initial network. The aim of this method is to build a framework for a multi-level knowledge retrieval. So, besides the capacity of this methodology to reduce the high dimensionality of the data, the new detection scheme is able to extract, from the sub-communities, the most relevant nodes and the dense sub-groups with the definition and formulation of new quantities related to the notions of energy and co-energy. The energy of a node is the rate of its participation on a the whole set of activities while the notion of co-energy defines the rate of interaction/link between two nodes. These two important features are used to make each link weighted and bounded, so that we will be able to perform a thorough refinement of the sub-community discovery. This study allows to perform a multi-level analysis by extracting information either per-link or per-intra-sub-community. This methodology is applied to a real world dataset where the workload of activities over a set of events is considered.
