On community structure in complex networks: challenges and opportunities
Hocine Cherifi, Gergely Palla, Boleslaw K. Szymanski +1
Community structure is one of the most relevant features encountered in numerous real-world applications of networked systems. Despite the tremendous effort of scientists working o…
The evolution of polarization in the legislative branch of government
Xiaoyan Lu, Jianxi Gao, Boleslaw K. Szymanski
The polarization of political opinions among members of the U.S. legislative chambers measured by their voting records is greater today than it was thirty years ago. Previous resea…
Regularized Stochastic Block Model for robust community detection in complex networks
Xiaoyan Lu, Boleslaw K. Szymanski
The stochastic block model is able to generate different network partitions, ranging from traditional assortative communities to disassortative structures. Since the degree-correct…
Asymptotic resolution bounds of generalized modularity and multi-scale community detection
Xiaoyan Lu, Brendan Cross, Boleslaw K. Szymanski
The maximization of generalized modularity performs well on networks in which the members of all communities are statistically indistinguishable from each other. However, there is…
Scalable prediction of global online media news virality
Xiaoyan Lu, Boleslaw K. Szymanski
News reports shape the public perception of the critical social, political and economical events around the world. Yet, the way in which emergent phenomena are reported in the news…
Adaptive Modularity Maximization via Edge Weighting Scheme
Xiaoyan Lu, Konstantin Kuzmin, Mingming Chen +1
Modularity maximization is one of the state-of-the-art methods for community detection that has gained popularity in the last decade. Yet it suffers from the resolution limit probl…
Supporting novel biomedical research via multilayer collaboration networks
Konstantin Kuzmin, Xiaoyan Lu, Partha Sarathi Mukherjee +3
The value of research containing novel combinations of molecules can be seen in many innovative and award-winning research programs. Despite calls to use innovative approaches to a…
Towards Limited Scale-free Topology with Dynamic Peer Participation
Xiaoyan Lu, Eyuphan Bulut, Boleslaw Szymanski
Growth models have been proposed for constructing the scale-free overlay topology to improve the performance of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. However, previous growth m…
