2016-A Novel Approach to Evaluate Community Detection Algorithms on Ground Truth.pdf

摘要：

Evaluating a community detection algorithm is a complex task due to the lack of a shared and universally accepted definition of community. In literature, one of the most common way to assess the performances of a community detection algorithm is to compare its output with given ground truth communities by using computationally expensive metrics (i.e., Normalized Mutual Information). In this paper we propose a novel approach aimed at evaluating the adherence of a community partition to the ground truth: our methodology provides more information than the state-of-the-art ones and is fast to compute on large-scale networks. We evaluate its correctness by applying it to six popular community detection algorithms on four large-scale network datasets. Experimental results show how our approach allows to easily evaluate the obtained communities on the ground truth and to characterize the quality of community detection algorithms.
