Abstract

Recent researches have discovered that rich interactions among entities in nature and human society bring about complex networks with community structures. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm BiTector (Bi-community DeTector) to mine the overlapping communities in large-scale sparse bipartite networks. We apply the algorithm to various real-world datasets, showing that BiTector can identify the overlapping community structures in the bipartite networks efficiently and effectively.
