The label propagation algorithm (LPA) is a graph-based semi-supervised learning algorithm, which can predict the information of unlabeled nodes by a few of labeled nodes. It is a community detection method in the field of complex networks. This algorithm is easy to implement with low complexity and the effect is remarkable. It is widely applied in various fields. However, the randomness of the label propagation leads to the poor robustness of the algorithm, and the classification result is unstable. This paper proposes a LPA based on edge clustering coefficient. The node in the network selects a neighbor node whose edge clustering coefficient is the highest to update the label of node rather than a random neighbor node, so that we can effectively restrain the random spread of the label. The experimental results show that the LPA based on edge clustering coefficient has made improvement in the stability and accuracy of the algorithm.

Community detection is of great significance in understanding the structure of the network. Label propagation algorithm (LPA) is a classical and effective method, but it has the problems of randomness and instability. An improved label propagation algorithm named LPA-MNI is proposed in this study by combining the modularity function and node importance with the original LPA. LPA-MNI first identify the initial communities according to the value of modularity. Subsequently, the label propagation is used to cluster the remaining nodes that have not been assigned to initial communities. Meanwhile, node importance is used to improve the node order of label updating and the mechanism of label selecting when multiple labels are contained by the maximum number of nodes. Extensive experiments are performed on twelve real-world networks and eight groups of synthetic networks, and the results show that LPA-MNI has better accuracy, higher modularity, and more reasonable community numbers when compared with other six algorithms. In addition, LPA-MNI is shown to be more robust than the traditional LPA algorithm.

Community detection in complex network analysis is a quite challenging problem spanning many applications in various disciplines such as biology, physics and social network. A large number of methods have been developed for this problem, among which the label propagation algorithm (LPA) has attracted much attention because of its advantages of nearly-linear running time and easy implementation. Nevertheless, the random updating order and tie-breaking strategy in LPA make the algorithm unstable and may even lead to the formation of a monster community. In this paper, an improved LPA called LPA-INTIM is proposed for solving the community detection problem. Firstly, an intimacy matrix is constructed using local topology information for measuring the intimacy between nodes. And then, the node importance is calculated to ensure that nodes are updated in a specific order. Finally, the label influence is evaluated for updating node label during the label propagation process. In addition, we introduce a novel tightness function to improve the stability of the proposed algorithm. By the comparison with the methods presented in the literatures, experimental results on real-world and synthetic networks show the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

In order to deal with stochasticity in center node selection and instability in community detection of label propagation algorithm, this paper proposes an improved label propagation algorithm named label propagation algorithm based on community belonging degree (LPA-CBD) that employs community belonging degree to determine the number and the center of community. The general process of LPA-CBD is that the initial community is identified by the nodes with the maximum degree, and then it is optimized or expanded by community belonging degree. After getting the rough structure of network community, the remaining nodes are labeled by using label propagation algorithm. The experimental results on 10 real-world networks and three synthetic networks show that LPA-CBD achieves reasonable community number, better algorithm accuracy and higher modularity compared with other four prominent algorithms. Moreover, the proposed algorithm not only has lower algorithm complexity and higher community detection quality, but also improves the stability of the original label propagation algorithm.

The research on complex networks is a hot topic in many fields, among which community detection is a complex and meaningful process, which plays an important role in researching the characteristics of complex networks. Community structure is a common feature in the network. Given a graph, the process of uncovering its community structure is called community detection. Many community detection algorithms from different perspectives have been proposed. Achieving stable and accurate community division is still a non-trivial task due to the difficulty of setting specific parameters, high randomness and lack of ground-truth information. In this paper, we explore a new decision-making method through real-life communication and propose a preferential decision model based on dynamic relationships applied to dynamic systems. We apply this model to the label propagation algorithm and present a Community Detection based on Preferential Decision Model, called CDPD. This model intuitively aims to reveal the topological structure and the hierarchical structure between networks. By analyzing the structural characteristics of complex networks and mining the tightness between nodes, the priority of neighbor nodes is chosen to perform the required preferential decision, and finally the information in the system reaches a stable state. In the experiments, through the comparison of eight comparison algorithms, we verified the performance of CDPD in real-world networks and synthetic networks. The results show that CDPD not only has better performance than most recent algorithms on most datasets, but it is also more suitable for many community networks with ambiguous structure, especially sparse networks.
