  • Multi-Scale Clustering in Graphs Using Modularity
    DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2019 Multi-scale clustering in graphs using modularity BERTRAND CHARPENTIER KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Multi-scale clustering in graphs using modularity BERTRAND CHARPENTIER Master in Machine Learning Date: January 15, 2019 Supervisor: Pawel Herman (KTH), Thomas Bonald (Télécom ParisTech) Examiner: Johan Håstad Swedish title: Multiskal-klustring i grafer med moduläritet School of Computer Science and Communication iii Abstract This thesis provides a new hierarchical clustering algorithm for graphs, named Paris, which can be interpreted through the modularity score and its resolution parameter. The algorithm is agglomerative and based on a simple distance between clusters induced by the probability of sampling node pairs. It tries to approximate the optimal partitions with respect to the modularity score at any resolution in one run. In addition to the Paris hierarchical algorithm, this thesis proposes four algorithms that compute rankings of the sharpest clusters, clus- terings and resolutions by processing the hierarchy output by Paris. These algorithms are based on a new measure of stability for cluster- ings, named sharp-score. Key outcomes of these four algorithms are the possibility to rank clusters, detect sharpest clusterings scale, go be- yond the resolution limit and detect relevant resolutions. All these algorithms have been tested on both synthetic and real datasets to illustrate the efficiency of their approaches. Keywords: Hierarchical clustering, Multi-scale clustering, Graph, Mod- ularity, Resolution, Dendrogram iv Sammanfattning Denna avhandling ger en ny hierarkisk klusteralgoritm för grafer, som heter Paris, vilket kan tolkas av modularitetsresultatet och dess upp- lösningsparameter.
