Covariate-Associated Community Detection on Social Networks

Wanjie Wang (National University of Singapore)

In social networks, besides the connection information, the nodes also have some node-specific covariates or attributes. These covariates also provide some information to detect the connection community of nodes, but community detection based on the covariates only may not coincident with the network communities. For example, individuals in the same community may have separate profiles. Further, the node covariates may suffer sparse entries in the high dimensional setting. In this talk, I will present a method to exploit the covariate information on the network community detection.
