LinkBlackHole: Robust Overlapping Community Detection Using Link Embedding

This paper proposes LinkBlackHole*, a novel algorithm for finding communities that are (i) overlapping in nodes and (ii) mixing (not separating clearly) in links. There has been a small body of work in each category, but this paper is the first one that addresses both. LinkBlackHole* is a merger of our earlier two algorithms, LinkSCAN* and BlackHole, inheriting their advantages in support of highly-mixed overlapping communities. The former is...
