Abstract

This work investigates the overlapping community detection problem. Recently, some efficient matrix factorization algorithms were proposed which can detect overlapping communities in unweighted graphs with millions of nodes. We expand these approaches to weighted graphs and develop a novel probabilistic model of overlapping community structure in weighted graphs. The resulting algorithm boils down to generalized matrix factorization with non-quadratic loss function. The comparison with the other methods shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms modern analogues.
