Clustering on Dynamic Social Network Data

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 190))

Abstract

This paper presents a reference data set along with a labeling for graph clustering algorithms, especially for those handling dynamic graph data. We implemented a modification of Iterative Conductance Cutting and a spectral clustering. As base data set we used a filtered part of the Enron corpus. Different cluster measurements, as intra-cluster density, inter-cluster sparseness, and Q-Modularity were calculated on the results of the clustering to be able to compare results from other algorithms.
