Abstract
We propose a unique approach to finding overlapping communities within complex networks that leverages swarm intelligence, for decentralized multi-threading processing, with label propagation, for its fast identification of communities. The combination of the two technologies offers a high performance approach to overlapped community detection that allow for the processing of very large networks in tractable time.
