Community detection in network analysis is an attractive research area recently. Here, under the degree-corrected mixed membership (DCMM) model, we propose an efficient approach called mixed regularized spectral clustering (Mixed-RSC for short) based on the regularized Laplacian matrix. Mixed-RSC is designed based on an ideal cone structure of the variant for the eigen-decomposition of the population regularized Laplacian matrix. We show that the algorithm is asymptotically consistent under mild conditions by providing error bounds for the inferred membership vector of each node. As a byproduct of our bound, we provide the theoretical optimal choice for the regularization parameter {tau}. To demonstrate the performance of our method, we apply it with previous benchmark methods on both simulated and real-world networks. To our knowledge, this is the first work to design spectral clustering algorithm for mixed membership community detection problem under DCMM model based on the application of regularized Laplacian matrix.

This paper considers the problem of modeling and estimating community memberships of nodes in a directed network where every row (column) node is associated with a vector determining its membership in each row (column) community. To model such directed network, we propose directed degree corrected mixed membership (DiDCMM) model by considering degree heterogeneity. DiDCMM is identifiable under popular conditions for mixed membership network when considering degree heterogeneity. Based on the cone structure inherent in the normalized version of the left singular vectors and the simplex structure inherent in the right singular vectors of the population adjacency matrix, we build an efficient algorithm called DiMSC to infer the community membership vectors for both row nodes and column nodes. By taking the advantage of DiMSCs equivalence algorithm which returns same estimations as DiMSC and the recent development on row-wise singular vector deviation, we show that the proposed algorithm is asymptotically consistent under mild conditions by providing error bounds for the inferred membership vectors of each row node and each column node under DiDCMM. The theory is supplemented by a simulation study.
Community detection has been well studied recent years, but the more realistic case of mixed membership community detection remains a challenge. Here, we develop an efficient spectral algorithm Mixed-ISC based on applying more than K eigenvectors for clustering given K communities for estimating the community memberships under the degree-corrected mixed membership (DCMM) model. We show that the algorithm is asymptotically consistent. Numerical experiments on both simulated networks and many empirical networks demonstrate that Mixed-ISC performs well compared to a number of benchmark methods for mixed membership community detection. Especially, Mixed-ISC provides satisfactory performances on weak signal networks.
The majority of real-world networks are dynamic and extremely large (e.g., Internet Traffic, Twitter, Facebook, ...). To understand the structural behavior of nodes in these large dynamic networks, it may be necessary to model the dynamics of behavioral roles representing the main connectivity patterns over time. In this paper, we propose a dynamic behavioral mixed-membership model (DBMM) that captures the roles of nodes in the graph and how they evolve over time. Unlike other node-centric models, our model is scalable for analyzing large dynamic networks. In addition, DBMM is flexible, parameter-free, has no functional form or parameterization, and is interpretable (identifies explainable patterns). The performance results indicate our approach can be applied to very large networks while the experimental results show that our model uncovers interesting patterns underlying the dynamics of these networks.
Mixed membership community detection is a challenge problem in network analysis. To estimate the memberships and study the impact of regularized spectral clustering under the mixed membership stochastic block (MMSB) model, this article proposes two efficient spectral clustering approaches based on regularized Laplacian matrix, Simplex Regularized Spectral Clustering (SRSC) and Cone Regularized Spectral Clustering (CRSC). SRSC and CRSC methods are designed based on the ideal simplex structure and the ideal cone structure in the variants of the eigen-decomposition of the population regularized Laplacian matrix. We show that these two approaches SRSC and CRSC are asymptotically consistent under mild conditions by providing error bounds for the inferred membership vector of each node under MMSB. Through the theoretical analysis, we give the upper and lower bound for the regularizer $tau$. By introducing a parametric convergence probability, we can directly see that when $tau$ is large these two methods may still have low error rates but with a smaller probability. Thus we give an empirical optimal choice of $tau$ is $O(log(n))$ with $n$ the number of nodes to detect sparse networks. The proposed two approaches are successfully applied to synthetic and empirical networks with encouraging results compared with some benchmark methods.
For community detection problem, spectral clustering is a widely used method for detecting clusters in networks. In this paper, we propose an improved spectral clustering (ISC) approach under the degree corrected stochastic block model (DCSBM). ISC is designed based on the k-means clustering algorithm on the weighted leading K + 1 eigenvectors of a regularized Laplacian matrix where the weights are their corresponding eigenvalues. Theoretical analysis of ISC shows that under mild conditions the ISC yields stable consistent community detection. Numerical results show that ISC outperforms classical spectral clustering methods for community detection on both simulated and eight empirical networks. Especially, ISC provides a significant improvement on two weak signal networks Simmons and Caltech, with error rates of 121/1137 and 96/590, respectively.
