Network Modularity Modularity CMSC 858L Module-detection for Function Prediction • Biological networks generally modular (Hartwell+, 1999) • We can try to find the modules within a network. • Once we find modules, we can look at over-represented functions within a module, e.g.: - If a majority of the proteins within a module have annotation A, predict annotation A for the other proteins in the module. • ⇒ Graph clustering methods - Min Multiway Cut, Graph Summarization, VI-Cut: examples we’ve already seen. - Methods often borrowed from other “community detection” applications. Modularity Modularity eii = % edges in module i eii=|{(u,v) : u ∈ Vi, v ∈ Vi, (u,v)∈E}| / |E| 2 ai = % edges with at least 1 i end in module i ai=|{(u,v) : u ∈ Vi, (u,v) ∈ E}| / |E| probability a random 3 edge would fall into Modularity is: module i k Q = e a2 ii − i i=1 High modularity ⇒ more edges probability edge within the module that you expect is in module i by chance.

Summary: Modularity • Modularity is widely used as a measure for how good a clustering is. • Particularly popular in social network analysis, but used in other contexts as well (e.g. Brain networks). • Has a “resolution” preference: for a given network, will tend to prefer clusters of a particular size. • Often this means the clusters are too big. • A good example of where a spectral clustering technique can work..

  • Multidimensional Network Analysis
    Universita` degli Studi di Pisa Dipartimento di Informatica Dottorato di Ricerca in Informatica Ph.D. Thesis Multidimensional Network Analysis Michele Coscia Supervisor Supervisor Fosca Giannotti Dino Pedreschi May 9, 2012 Abstract This thesis is focused on the study of multidimensional networks. A multidimensional network is a network in which among the nodes there may be multiple different qualitative and quantitative relations. Traditionally, complex network analysis has focused on networks with only one kind of relation. Even with this constraint, monodimensional networks posed many analytic challenges, being representations of ubiquitous complex systems in nature. However, it is a matter of common experience that the constraint of considering only one single relation at a time limits the set of real world phenomena that can be represented with complex networks. When multiple different relations act at the same time, traditional complex network analysis cannot provide suitable an- alytic tools. To provide the suitable tools for this scenario is exactly the aim of this thesis: the creation and study of a Multidimensional Network Analysis, to extend the toolbox of complex network analysis and grasp the complexity of real world phenomena. The urgency and need for a multidimensional network analysis is here presented, along with an empirical proof of the ubiquity of this multifaceted reality in different complex networks, and some related works that in the last two years were proposed in this novel setting, yet to be systematically defined. Then, we tackle the foundations of the multidimensional setting at different levels, both by looking at the basic exten- sions of the known model and by developing novel algorithms and frameworks for well-understood and useful problems, such as community discovery (our main case study), temporal analysis, link prediction and more.

Building upon previous work in graph theory and social net- Massachusetts Institute of Technology, work analysis, we define three measures of component modularity based on the notion of Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 centrality. Our measures consider how components share direct interfaces with adjacent components, how design interfaces may propagate to nonadjacent components in the Craig M.

  • Task-Dependent Evolution of Modularity in Neural Networks1
    Task-dependent evolution of modularity in neural networks1 Michael Husk¨ en, Christian Igel, and Marc Toussaint Institut fur¨ Neuroinformatik, Ruhr-Universit¨at Bochum, 44780 Bochum, Germany Telephone: +49 234 32 25558, Fax: +49 234 32 14209 fhuesken,igel,[email protected] Connection Science Vol 14, No 3, 2002, p. 219-229 Abstract. There exist many ideas and assumptions about the development and meaning of modu- larity in biological and technical neural systems. We empirically study the evolution of connectionist models in the context of modular problems. For this purpose, we define quantitative measures for the degree of modularity and monitor them during evolutionary processes under different constraints. It turns out that the modularity of the problem is reflected by the architecture of adapted systems, although learning can counterbalance some imperfection of the architecture. The demand for fast learning systems increases the selective pressure towards modularity. 1 Introduction The performance of biological as well as technical neural systems crucially depends on their ar- chitectures. In case of a feed-forward neural network (NN), architecture may be defined as the underlying graph constituting the number of neurons and the way these neurons are connected. Particularly one property of architectures, modularity, has raised a lot of interest among researchers dealing with biological and technical aspects of neural computation. It appears to be obvious to emphasise modularity in neural systems because the vertebrate brain is highly modular both in an anatomical and in a functional sense. It is important to stress that there are different concepts of modules. `When a neuroscientist uses the word \module", s/he is usually referring to the fact that brains are structured, with cells, columns, layers, and regions which divide up the labour of information processing in various ways' 1This paper is a revised and extended version of the GECCO 2001 Late-Breaking Paper by Husk¨ en, Igel, & Toussaint (2001).

  • Analyzing Social Media Network for Students in Presidential Election 2019 with Nodexl
    ANALYZING SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK FOR STUDENTS IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2019 WITH NODEXL Irwan Dwi Arianto Doctoral Candidate of Communication Sciences, Airlangga University Corresponding Authors: [email protected] Abstract. Twitter is widely used in digital political campaigns. Twitter as a social media that is useful for building networks and even connecting political participants with the community. Indonesia will get a demographic bonus starting next year until 2030. The number of productive ages that will become a demographic bonus if not recognized correctly can be a problem. The election organizer must seize this opportunity for the benefit of voter participation. This study aims to describe the network structure of students in the 2019 presidential election. The first debate was held on January 17, 2019 as a starting point for data retrieval on Twitter social media. This study uses data sources derived from Twitter talks from 17 January 2019 to 20 August 2019 with keywords “#pilpres2019 OR #mahasiswa since: 2019-01-17”. The data obtained were analyzed by the communication network analysis method using NodeXL software. Our Analysis found that Top Influencer is @jokowi, as well as Top, Mentioned also @jokowi while Top Tweeters @okezonenews and Top Replied-To @hasmi_bakhtiar. Jokowi is incumbent running for re-election with Ma’ruf Amin (Senior Muslim Cleric) as his running mate against Prabowo Subianto (a former general) and Sandiaga Uno as his running mate (former vice governor). This shows that the more concentrated in the millennial generation in this case students are presidential candidates @jokowi. @okezonenews, the official twitter account of okezone.com (MNC Media Group).

  • On Community Structure in Complex Networks: Challenges and Opportunities
    On community structure in complex networks: challenges and opportunities Hocine Cherifi · Gergely Palla · Boleslaw K. Szymanski · Xiaoyan Lu Received: November 5, 2019 Abstract Community structure is one of the most relevant features encoun- tered in numerous real-world applications of networked systems. Despite the tremendous effort of a large interdisciplinary community of scientists working on this subject over the past few decades to characterize, model, and analyze communities, more investigations are needed in order to better understand the impact of community structure and its dynamics on networked systems. Here, we first focus on generative models of communities in complex networks and their role in developing strong foundation for community detection algorithms. We discuss modularity and the use of modularity maximization as the basis for community detection. Then, we follow with an overview of the Stochastic Block Model and its different variants as well as inference of community structures from such models. Next, we focus on time evolving networks, where existing nodes and links can disappear, and in parallel new nodes and links may be introduced. The extraction of communities under such circumstances poses an interesting and non-trivial problem that has gained considerable interest over Hocine Cherifi LIB EA 7534 University of Burgundy, Esplanade Erasme, Dijon, France E-mail: hocine.cherifi@u-bourgogne.fr Gergely Palla MTA-ELTE Statistical and Biological Physics Research Group P´azm´any P. stny. 1/A, Budapest, H-1117, Hungary E-mail: [email protected] Boleslaw K.
