What to learn in this module#

In this module, we will learn community detection, one of the most widely-used yet controversial techniques in network analysis. We will learn:

  • What is community structure in networks?

  • How to operationalize community structure?

  • How to find communities in networks?

  • Limitations of community detection

  • Keywords: community detection, assortativity, modularity, resolution limit, rugged landscape, random graph, label switching algorithm, Louvain algorithm, stochastic block model, the configuration model.
