DynamicNet: an effective and efficient algorithm for supporting community evolution detection in time-evolving information networks

Published: 09 October 2013 Publication History

Abstract

DynamicNet, an effective and efficient algorithm for supporting community evolution detection in time-evolving information networks is presented and experimentally evaluated in this paper. DynamicNet introduces a graph-based model-theoretic approach to represent time-evolving information networks, and to capture how they change over time. A central feature of DynamicNet is represented by the ability of supporting matching-based community evolution detection, by identifying several classes of community transitions. Experimental results clearly demonstrate the reliability and the efficiency of our proposal.
