Re: Modularity for directed / weighted graphs?

I am also interested in doing modularity analysis with directed graphs. I found the following paper, which appears to define modularity for directed graphs: http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.1647

I might give its implementation a try, although my Java skills are not that great.

Hey there,

Curious as I too need to do modularity analysis on a weighted by undirected graph - any update on this development?

Many thanks!
Nick

Hi,

Currently, Gephi does not handle directions and weights.

I am working on using weight for modularity, it needs debugging but I will do my best to finish it for the next release.

It is more difficult for directed graphs, because modularity is not defined for them. Community detection is IMHO still a completely open problem for directed graphs and I do not see any "consensual" algorithms or definition like the modularity.

Best,

Thomas

Modularity for directed / weighted graphs?

2012-01-13T12:37:56+01:00

Hi all,

I've been using Gephi lately but only for visualization (since I program mostly in python and use NetworkX for the calculations).

But I wanted to use the modularity algorithm integrated in Gephi on my network. The problem is that my network is weighted and directed, and I was wondering wether the implementation of the Blondel Algortihm is adapted to these circumstances.

I (tried) to check the sourcecode but wasn't very successful (never done anything in java).

Thank you in advance for setting up such a cool program!

Cheers

Ula
