摘要Community detection, aiming at determining correct affiliation of each node in a network, is a critical task of complex network analysis. Owing to its high efficiency, Symmetric and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (SNMF) is frequently adopted to handle this task. However, existing SNMF models mostly focus on a network's first-order topological information described by its adjacency matrix without considering the implicit associations among involved nodes. To address this issue, this study proposes a Pointwise mutual information-incorporated and Graph-regularized SNMF (PGS) model. It uses a) Pointwise Mutual Information to quantify implicit associations among nodes, thereby completing the missing but crucial information among critical nodes in a uniform way; b) graph-regularization to achieve precise representation of local topology, and c) SNMF to implement efficient community detection. Empirical studies on eight real-world social networks generated by industrial applications demonstrate that a PGS model achieves significantly higher accuracy gain in community detection than state-of-the-art community detectors.
