Newman proposes a method for detecting community structure in networks using modularity optimization. Modularity measures the difference between the actual number of edges within groups and the expected number in a random network. He reformulates modularity in terms of the eigenvectors of a new matrix, the modularity matrix, leading to a spectral algorithm for community detection that is more efficient and accurate than previous methods. The algorithm divides networks into communities by analyzing the signs of the leading eigenvector of the modularity matrix. It is demonstrated on several network datasets, including the "karate club" network, where it successfully identifies known community structures. The method is also applied to real-world networks, such as political books and blogs, showing its effectiveness in identifying meaningful community divisions. The algorithm is efficient, with a running time of O(n² log n) for sparse graphs, and outperforms other methods in both quality and speed. It can detect communities in networks of up to 100,000 vertices. The method is validated through comparisons with other algorithms, showing superior performance, especially for large networks. The algorithm is able to identify indivisible subgraphs, indicating that no meaningful community structure exists in those subgraphs. The approach is based on the statistical properties of network structures and provides a robust method for community detection in complex networks.Newman proposes a method for detecting community structure in networks using modularity optimization.
