Communities in Networks
Abstract:- Networks (graphs) arise pervasively in biology, physics,
technology, the social sciences, and myriad other areas. They typically
exhibit a complicated mixture of random and structured features. Over the
past several years, my collaborators and I have conducted several studies of
cohesive mesoscopic structures known as "communities," which consist of
groups of nodes that are closely related. In this talk, I will discuss the
idea of network community structure and discuss results my collaborators and
I have obtained using networks constructed from data such as Facebook
friendships, Congressional committee assignments and voting/legislation
cosponsorship, and NCAA football schedules.
