Overlapping clustering is a fundamental and widely studied subject that identifies all densely connected groups of vertices and separates them from other vertices in complex networks. However, most conventional algorithms extract modules directly from the whole large-scale graph using various heuristics, resulting in either high time consumption or low accuracy. To address this issue, we develop an overlapping community detection approach in Ego-Splitting networks using symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (ESNMF). It primarily divides the whole network into many sub-graphs under the premise of preserving the clustering property, then extracts the well-connected sub-sub-graph round each community seed as prior information to supplement symmetric adjacent matrix, and finally identifies precise communities via nonnegative matrix factorization in each sub-network. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks of publicly available datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for community detection in large-scale networks.

Community Structure is one of the most important properties of social networks. Detecting such structures is a challenging problem in the area of social network analysis. Community is a collection of nodes with dense connections than with the rest of the network. It is similar to clustering problem in which intra cluster edge density is more than the inter cluster edge density. Community detection algorithms are of two categories, one is disjoint community detection, in which a node can be a member of only one community at most, and the other is overlapping community detection, in which a node can be a member of more than one community. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art disjoint and overlapping community detection algorithms. Also, the measures needed to evaluate a disjoint and overlapping community detection algorithms are discussed in detail.
