We initiate the study of a new clustering framework, called cluster ranking. Rather than simply partitioning a network into clusters, a cluster ranking algorithm also orders the clusters by their strength. To this end, we introduce a novel strength measure for clusters--the integrated cohesion--which is applicable to arbitrary weighted networks. We then present C-Rank: a new cluster ranking algorithm. Given a network with arbitrary pairwise similarity weights, C-Rank creates a list of overlapping clusters and ranks them by their integrated cohesion. We provide extensive theoretical and empirical analysis of C-Rank and show that it is likely to have high precision and recall. Our experiments focus on mining mailbox networks. A mailbox network is an egocentric social network, consisting of contacts with whom an individual exchanges email. Ties among contacts are represented by the frequency of their co-occurrence on message headers. C-Rank is well suited to mine such networks, since they are abundant with overlapping communities of highly variable strengths. We demonstrate the effectiveness of C-Rank on the Enron data set, consisting of 130 mailbox networks.
