Improving the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Community Detection via Prior-Induced Equivalent Super-Network

Abstract Due to the importance of community structure in understanding network and a surge of interest aroused on community detectability, how to improve the community identification performance with pairwise prior information becomes a hot topic. However, most existing semi-supervised community det...
