The radonal communy deecon algorhms such as specral cluserng and FN (Fas Newman algorhm end o fall no local opmum or canno denfy he number of communes. In hs paper, based on BA (Ba Algorhm, a new swarm nellgence opmzaon algorhm, we proposed DBA (Dscree Ba Algorhm for communy deecon. DBA can auomacally denfy he number of communes and easly search he global opmal soluon o overcome he shorcomngs of radonal algorhms. Compared wh radonal algorhms, expermenal resuls show ha DBA has hgher accuracy and effcency. We appled DBA o he communy deecon of bddng neworks and acheved good resuls, whch shows ha our algorhm has a srong praccal value. Index Terms complex nework, communy deecon, Ba Algorhm, bddng deecon C I. INTRODUCTION omplex neworks orgnaed n our lves. For example, he World Wde Web, socal neworks, elecrcy neworks, neural neworks and proen neracon neworks can all be seen as a complex nework. Sudy of complex neworks nvolvng physcs, mahemacs, bology and socology, has become one of he mos mporan nerdscplnary felds [1], []. Wh he n-deph sudy of complex neworks, scholars have found ha many complex neworks have a common naure: communy srucure. Lke he small world [3], scale-free [], he communy srucure of complex neworks s one of he mos popular and mporan properes of he opology. Communy deecon can be appled o he web mnng, socal nework analyss, semanc-analycs [3] and many felds of bology and has mporan sgnfcance n research. Grvan and Newman are poneers n he research of communy deecon algorhm. They proposed he Grvan- Newman (GN algorhm [5] n 1. GN algorhm Anpng Song s assocae professor wh he School of Compuer Engneerng and Scence, Shangha Unversy, Shangha, Chna (e-mal: apsong@shu.edu.cn.

A herarchcal cluserng ree s bul by op-down approach. Because of he hgh compuaonal demands, GN algorhm s only suable for small neworks. Bu GN algorhm plays a very mporan role n he feld of communy deecon. Communy srucure was consdered as a ubquous propery of complex nework for he frs me, whch nspred n-deph sudy on hs ssue and se off a wave of research on communy deecon []. Maxmum flow communy (MFC algorhm [7] and GN algorhm are smlar n he way of cung nework. Theorecal bass of MFC algorhm s he Max Flow-Mn Cu heorem. MFC algorhm connuously removes Mn Cu edge, so nework s dvded no communes eravely. The prncpal dsadvanage of MFC algorhm s he hgh compuaonal demands makes. Fas Newman (FN [] algorhm was proposed by Newman n. I consdered communy deecon as a global opmzaon problem and he obecve funcon s Q funcon (modulary funcon. By local search sraegy, FN algorhm repeaedly ons communes ogeher n pars, choosng he on ha resul n he maxmum ΔQ a each sep, whch buld a herarchcal cluserng ree from he boom up. FN algorhm has a consderable advanage over GN algorhms n me complexy, bu he resul obaned by FN s a local opmum and lacks dversy. GA (Gumera-Amaral algorhm [9], based on smulaed annealng algorhm, was proposed by Gumera and Amaral n 5. The obecve funcon of GA algorhm s he same wh FN algorhm. However, GA algorhm s slow n convergence and sensve o parameers. Specral cluserng [1]-[1] ransforms communy deecon o he approxmae opmal soluon of consraned quadrac form, whch s src n mahemacal heory, bu does no auomacally recognze he number of communes. Basng on opmzaon mehod, Ronghua Shang e al proposed an mproved genec algorhm usng modulary [13]. Genec algorhm s very slow n convergence, because he muaon and crossover operaons are random. Many scholars ry o apply swarm nellgence algorhm n communy deecon. H Chang e al appled An Colony Opmzaon o communy deecon [1] wh he help of a new knd of heursc nformaon. Qng Ca e al appled parcle swarm opmzaon (PSO algorhm o he communy deecon of sgned nework [15] n 1, and have acheved good resuls. Ba Algorhm (BA, proposed by Yang n 1, s a new swarm nellgence algorhm [1]. The orgnal BA can only be used o solve he connuous opmzaon problem. In hs paper, we dscrezed he orgnal algorhm and proposed a novel dscree ba (Advance onlne publcaon: 9 February 1

Expermenal resuls show ha compared wh several algorhms descrbed above, DBA has obvous advanages on he accuracy of communy paron and effcency. Then we appled DBA o he bddng neworks and acheved good resuls. The res of hs paper s organzed as follows. Secon II focuses on relaed work and BA algorhm; Secon III shows he dscrezaon of BA and he processes of DBA; Secon IV s expermen resuls n arfcal nework and real-word neworks; Secon V s he concluson and prospec. II. RELATED WORK A. The defnon of communy Communy srucure s an mporan feaure ha many complex neworks have n common, bu here s no src defnon ye. In leraure [17], communes are regarded as sub-graphs of nework whch have dense nra-lnks and sparse ner-lnks. In realy, he communes correspond o specfc feaure or arbue of a nework. For example, n a socal nework, a communy may represen a crcle of frends; n a leraure muual reference nework, a communy may represen a relevan scenfc feld. Thus, communy deecon s o dvde complex nework no several sub-graphs, he mahemacally descrpon s as follows: Gven a complex nework G (V, E, where V s he verces se, E s he edges se. To fnd a dvson C CC... 1 Ck, where C1 C... Ck V and C C,. A good dvson of C s o make nra edges of C as many as possble and edges beween C and C as few as possble. B. Modulary funcon Modulary funcon was proposed by Newman n [1], whch s currenly he mos wdely used evaluaon funcon of communy deecon. Gven a nework, assume ha he nework was dvded no k communes. Defne a k-order symmerc marx e, le e be one-half of he fracon of edges n he nework ha connec verces n communy o hose n communy. so ha he oal fracon of such edges s e e. The race Tre e s he oal fracon of edges ha fall whn communes. A dvson s good f he Tre s large. Bu he Tre canno be a good measure for communy deecon. If all verces are pu no a sngle communy, we wll ge maxmal value of 1, whch does no reflec any communy srucure of he nework. Thus, le a be he fracon of edges ha connecs o he communy, we defne he modulary funcon as follows: ( (1 Q e a Tre e Where ǁxǁ s he sum of all elemens n he marx x and a s he fracon of edges ha fall whn communes when all edges are conneced ogeher a random. Q s he dfference beween e and a. If he edges of a nework are conneced a random, hs means no communy srucure s formed, he value of Q approxmaely equal o. Maxmum Q s 1 and he acual suaon s n he range of.3 and.7. Q.3 ndcaes sgnfcan communy srucure n he nework. C. The fracon of verces denfed correcly If he communy srucure of a nework s known, we use FVIC (he fracon of verces denfed correcly [19] o evaluae he resul of communy deecon. We defne FVIC as follows: FVIC k maxc N ( Gven a nework, C s he correc communy dvson, ncludng k communes. C s he communy deecon resul. C C, fnd C C ha has he mos common verces wh C, denoed as maxc. Where N s he number of verces n he nework. The larger FVIC s, he closer he resul s o he correc dvson. D. Ba Algorhm BA was proposed by famous scholar Yang n 1. BA, whch combnes he feaures of PSO algorhm and smulaed annealng algorhm, s srong n convergence and global search capably. Basng on he echolocaon behavor of bas, BA smulaes he frequency, emsson raes and he loudness when bas forage. Bas change he wavelengh λ by adusng he pulse frequency f ( f. When he wavelengh concdes wh he sze of nsecs, bas are able o locae he arge. The poson and velocy updang rule of BA s smlar wh PSO algorhm. BA generaes a random soluon by a random flgh operaon o avod fallng no local opmum, whch s he defec of PSO. The local search operaon of BA s smlar o smulaed annealng algorhm, whch makes he BA algorhm converge more quckly. BA combnes he advanages of PSO algorhm and smulaed annealng algorhm, whch makes BA more ousandng. III. DISCRETE BAT ALGORITHM A. Defne of ba locaon and velocy The orgnal BA algorhm s used o solve connuous problem, bu communy deecon s a dscree problem. Therefore we propose he DBA for communy deecon. Frs, we defne he poson of ba. In he orgnal BA, f he soluon space s n-dmensonal, a poson s an n-dmensonal vecor. For communy deecon, we use he decmal code. The defnon of a poson s... 1 n, where n s he number of verces of he gven nework, s a decmal neger. For any and, means verex and verex are dvded no he same communy. Then we defne he ba velocy. The velocy of orgnal algorhm s he dfference beween he poson of he curren (Advance onlne publcaon: 9 February 1

Therefore, we propose a new velocy formula, he operaon beween he curren ndvdual and he curren bes ndvdual becomes OR. In fac, ba wll adus s velocy by learnng from he curren bes. The learnng process s acually a comparson beween he posons. So he OR operaon acually reflecs he dfference beween wo nework dvsons, as a ba on behalf of a nework dvson. If, where s he curren bes ndvdual, hen ; If, hen 1. I can be seen ha OR well reflecs he dfference beween he curren ndvdual and he curren bes ndvdual. The curren ndvdual wll adus self by learnng from he curren bes ndvdual. B. Dscree formula The poson and velocy updae formula of DBA algorhm are defned as follows: Pulse frequency formula: f f ( f f (3 mn max mn Where β s a random number, <β <1, fmax s maxmum frequency, fmn s mnmum frequency. The velocy a sep s gven by: V V ( f ( 1 V d Sg( V 1/(1 exp( V (5 1 f rand( Sg( V f rand( Sg( V Where Sg s he sgmod funcon. Sg mapped he velocy o he range (, 1. rand( generaes a random number n he range of (, 1. We can ge he dscree velocyv by he above formula. Then we wll calculae he new poson of he ba. In he orgnal algorhm, we can ge he new poson vecor by addng he poson of he prevous generaon o he curren velocy vecor, bu no for dscree ssues. In hs regard, we proposed a new poson updae funcon.

Work flow of DBA We use a decmal code n hs paper. If wo verces have he same code, hey are dvded no he same communy. In he nalzaon, we generae each code randomly. However, hs wll dvde some unconneced verces no he same communy, whch s obvously of no sense. Therefore, we es each code n he nalzaon, so as o avod nonsense nalzaon. The obecve funcon of DBA s he Q funcon. We use wo ermnaon condons. Frs, manually se he number of eraons; second, f he Q funcon value of he opmal soluon remans unchanged for 1 eraons, he algorhm sops.

Our algorhm was coded n Java, JDK1.7. Complng envronmen s MyEclpse. We appled DBA o arfcal nework, real-word neworks and bddng neworks. The dfference beween arfcal nework and real-word nework s ha he communy srucure of he former s known n advance. A. Arfcal nework Frs, we used a symmercal nework wh known communy srucure proposed by Grvan and Newman n he paper [5] o valdae he performances of DBA. The nework generaed by compuer, consruced wh 1 verces, s dvded no four communes n average. The edges are randomly generaed by a fxed probably p n and p ou. Where p n s he possbly ha boh verces of an edge belong o he same communy, and pou for dfferen communes, pn pou. The probables were chosen so as o keep he average degree of a verex equal o 1. In he expermens, we changed he dense beween communes by adusng p n and p ou. When p ou ncreases, decreases, he nra-lnks decrease and ner-lnks pn ncrease. Ths makes communy dvson more dffcul. The proposed algorhm was used n he communy deecon of he above nework, and several oher classcal algorhms for comparson. Inal p s, whch means no connecon beween he communes. The expermenal resuls of FN algorhm, specral cluserng, DPSO algorhm and DBA are shown n Fg 1. In Fg 1, he horzonal axs represens ou p ou, he vercal axs represens FVIC. Orgnal DPSO algorhm s used for communy deecon of sgned nework, so we changed and appled o undreced nework. We ran each algorhm 1 mes for each p ou, akng he bes resul. We can see from Fg 1 ha FVIC obaned by DBA was 1 wh pou. Ths means ha f pou, communy dvson of DBA s compleely correc. pou of FN algorhm and DPSO algorhm n hs case are 5 and 5.5 respecvely, whch s sgnfcanly lower han DBA. Only for pou 7 does FVIC of DBA sar o fall off subsanally. In oher words, he algorhm performs very well almos o he pon a whch each communy has as many nra-lnks as ner-lnks. The curve of DBA s above DPSO and FN all he me, whch means accuracy of DBA s beer han he oher wo algorhms. For specral cluserng, when pou 1, FVIC s less han 1.

The reason s ha he number of communes s gven n advance for specral cluserng, so he communes are dvded more evenly. Therefore, a hgher FVIC does no mean ha specral cluserng has advanages compared wh oher algorhms. In summary, for he arfcal nework communy deecon, DBA algorhm performed beer han he oher hree algorhms. Fg.. Communy deecon resul of Fooball Fg. 3. Communy deecon resul of Karae Club Fg.. Communy deecon resul of Polcal Books B. Real-world neworks In hs secon we appled our algorhm o hree real-word neworks. They are he Amercan fooball nework [5], Zachary karae club nework [] and he Amercan polcal books neworks [1]. Amercan fooball nework s a represenaon of he game schedule of Amercan college fooball n season. These eams are from 1 leagues. Verces represen eams and edges represen regular-season games beween he wo eams hey connec. Games are more frequen beween members of he same league han beween members of dfferen league. Zachary karae club nework represens he relaonshp of he members. Because of dspue whn he organzaon, he nework s dvded no wo dsnc communes. Verces of Amercan polcal books nework represen polcal books sold on Amazon. If wo books were bough by he same buyer, here s an edge beween he correspondng verces. Specfcaons are shown n Table II. We ran DBA, DPSO algorhm and specral cluserng 1 mes on each nework, recorded he number of communes obaned by he bes resuls, he correspondng Q max, and he average value Q avg. Communy deecon resuls are shown n Table III. We use a graphcal ool Cyoscape o show he bes resuls go by DBA. The communy deecon resuls of Fooball, Karae Club and Polcal Books are shown n Fg, Fg 3 and Fg respecvely. DBA and specral cluserng algorhms deeced all 1 communes n he fooball nework; DPSO and FN were 1 and 9 respecvely. The number of communes s se n advance for specral cluserng, bu DBA algorhm deeced auomacally. As can be seen from Table III, FN algorhm obaned he larges Qavg n he fooball nework. Bu all resuls obaned by FN algorhm are exacly he same, so Qavg Qmax. Qmax of DBA algorhm s no only far greaer han FN algorhm, bu also hgher han DPSO algorhms and specral cluserng. Resuls of he Karae Club nework and he Polcal Books nework are smlar o he resuls of he fooball nework. FN algorhm can ge he max Q avg. Because of he oneness of resul, Qmax of FN algorhm s much smaller han ha of DBA and DPSO. Wha s more, DPSO algorhm s ends o fall no local opmum, Qmax and Q avg are smaller han hose of DBA. Thus, we can see he advanages of DBA. I can no only auomacally deec he number of communes, bu also oban more accurae resuls han he radonal algorhms. (Advance onlne publcaon: 9 February 1

There wll be group phenomenon when companes bd, whch means some companes always appear n he same proec. These companes have suspcon of surround-bddng accordng o some expers. We can fnd ou hese companes by communy deecon. Frs we classfed he daa accordng o ype of proec. Then for each class, we consruced neworks of he companes parcpaed n he bddng. Verces represen companes.

CONCLUSIONS In hs paper we proposed a new communy deecon algorhm DBA based on swarm nellgence. DBA auomacally deecs he number of communes and s able o ump ou of local opmum, whch overcomes he shorcomngs of radonal algorhms. Arfcal nework and real-word neworks expermens have proved DBA s superor o he radonal algorhms such as FN algorhm, DPSO algorhms and specral cluserng n all respecs. Furhermore, we appled DBA o he communy deecon of bddng neworks. The resuls are conssen wh he predcon of some expers, whch also valdaes he praccaly of DBA. We use only one obecve funcon, Q funcon, n hs paper and mul-obecve should be consdered n furher sudes. In addon, we wll focus on he parallelzaon of DBA o mee he challenges of larger neworks.
