Abstract

Recent research has shown great interest in statistical inference methods for community detection, not only in models and algorithms but also in the detectability. In this paper we propose a fast community detection algorithm based on the degree-corrected block model. By introducing a parameter to select the candidate solutions, our algorithm is able to detect overlapping communities. Experiments on a range of networks have achieved state-of-the-art results. Moreover, we show that the algorithm based on the degree-corrected block model also suffers the detectability limitation, which is in accord with the most recent research on the detectability threshold.
