Abstract

In recent years, community detection has gradually become a hot topic in the complex network data mining field. The research of community detection is helpful not only to understand network topology structure but also to explore network hiding function. In this paper, we improve FluidC which is a novel community detection algorithm based on fluid propagation, by ameliorating the quality of seed set based on positive feedback and determining the node update order. We first summarize the shortcomings of FluidC and analyze the reasons result in these drawbacks. Then, we took some effective measures to overcome them and proposed an efficient community detection algorithm, called FluidC+. Finally, experiments on the generated network and real-world network show that our method not only greatly improves the performance of the original algorithm FluidC but also is better than many state-of-the-art algorithms, especially in the performance on real-world network with ground truth.
