Local Spectral Clustering for Overlapping Community Detection

Abstract

Large graphs arise in a number of contexts and understanding their structure and extracting information from them is an important research area. Early algorithms for mining communities have focused on global graph structure, and often run in time proportional to the size of the entire graph. As we explore networks with millions of vertices and find communities of size in the hundreds, it becomes important to shift our attention from macroscopic structure to microscopic structure in large networks. A growing body of work has been adopting local expansion methods in order to identify communities from a few exemplary seed members.
