Abstract:

The existing algorithms to analyze the community structure are all based on the complex networks with non-intersection structure,and most of them can only analyze the separated community structures rather than to ana-lyze the overlapping and intersecting ones.In order solve this problem,a novel algorithm to analyze the overlapping community structure of intersection network is proposed.The proposed algorithm,IBCPM,is then adopted to analyze the community structure of the user's collection intersection network,and the results are further statistically analyzed.The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm are finally verified by experiments.
