• Abstract: Community detection in network analysis has become more intricate due to the recent hike in social networks (Cai et al., 2024). This paper suggests a new approach named ELPMeans that strives to address this challenge. For community detection in the whole network, ELPMeans combines Laplacian, Hierarchical Clustering as well as K-means algorithms. Our technique employs Laplacian centrality and minimum distance metrics for central node identification while k-means learning is used for efficient convergence to final community structure. Remarkably, ELPMeans is an unsupervised method which is not only simple to implement but also effectively tackles common problems such as random initialization of central nodes, or finding of number of communities (K). Experimental results show that our algorithm improves accuracy and reduces time complexity considerably outperforming recent approaches on real world networks. Moreover, our approach has a wide applicability range in various community detection tasks even with nonconvex shapes and no prior knowledge about the number of communities present.

• Implicit models, latent compression, intrinsic biases, and cheap lunches in community detection [0.0]
  Community detection aims to partition a network into clusters of nodes to summarize its large-scale structure. Some community detection methods are inferential, explicitly deriving the clustering objective through a probabilistic generative model. Other methods are descriptive, dividing a network according to an objective motivated by a particular application. We present a solution that associates any community detection objective, inferential or descriptive, with its corresponding implicit network generative model.

  Method for unsupervised meta-learning, CACTUs, is a clustering-based approach with pseudo-labeling. This approach is model-agnostic and can be combined with supervised algorithms to learn from unlabeled data. We prove that the core reason for this is lack of a clustering-friendly property in the embedding space.
