Abstract

Community detection is a significant but challenging task in the field of social network analysis. Many effective methods have been proposed to solve this problem. However, most of them are mainly based on the topological structure or node attributes. In this paper, based on SPAEM [1], we propose a joint probabilistic model to detect community which combines node attributes and topological structure. In our model, we create a novel feature-based weighted network, within which each edge weight is represented by the node feature similarity between two nodes at the end of the edge. Then we fuse the original network and the created network with a parameter and employ expectation-maximization algorithm (EM) to identify a community. Experiments on a diverse set of data, collected from Facebook and Twitter, demonstrate that our algorithm has achieved promising results compared with other algorithms.
