Abstract

Most of the community detection algorithms underperform on overlapping community structures. To eliminate the ambiguity, we define a membership function which can compute a node’s subordinate level to communities. This paper proposed a heuristic community detection algorithm with membership function (MCDA) utilizing which as a measure for community detection. By computing one node’s membership to each community, we can find which community it belongs to. Considering the edge connectivity, information transmission efficiency and other factors, some experiments are taken to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm perform higher accuracy and lower time complexity.
