Title
Community Detection In Bipartite Networks Using Weighted Symmetric Binary Matrix Factorization
Abstract
In this paper, we propose weighted symmetric binary matrix factorization (wSBMF) framework to detect overlapping communities in bipartite networks, which describes the relationships between two types of nodes. Our method improves performance by recognizing the distinction between two types of missing edges - ones among the nodes in each node type and the others between two node types. Our method can also explicitly assign community membership and distinguish outliers from overlapping nodes, as well as incorporating existing knowledge on the network. We propose a generalized partition density for bipartite networks as a quality function, which identifies the most appropriate number of communities. The experimental results on both synthetic and real-world networks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
