An Elitism-based Novel Approach for Community Detection in Social Networks

Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 46, Issue 10

Abstract

The detection of communities is an important problem in social network analysis, which has applications in various domains like sociology, biology, computer science, and marketing. In this context, genetic algorithms have proven to be effective in detecting communities by optimizing the modularity score of the network. The proposed work in this research paper uses an elitism-based genetic algorithm with some modified crossover and mutation techniques to detect communities in social networks. The proposed methodology incorporates the concepts of elitism, N-point crossover, and inverse mutation to enhance the effectiveness of genetic algorithms in solving optimization problems. The idea introduced in this article significantly extends the current understanding of optimization and evolutionary algorithms. We present an advanced methodology that leverages various genetic operators to improve the performance of a genetic algorithm in solving community detection problems in complex networks. Numerous research papers have extensively showcased the practicality of evolutionary and swarm-based algorithms in addressing real-world problems across diverse domains like viral marketing, link prediction, influence maximization, political polarization, etc. Hybridizing these algorithms with other optimization techniques has improved the performance and convergence speed, leading to enhanced optimization outcomes.
