A multiobjective optimization whale optimization based community detection algorithm

Abstract

Community structure is an important property in complex networks. Community detection can be formulated as optimization problem. The single objective commonly used in the analysis of static networks is often powerless in the face of conflicting optimization demands. In this paper, a multi-objective whale optimization based community detection algorithm (MOWOCD) is proposed, MOWOCD can optimize KKM and RC simultaneously. Experiments on real life networks show that MOWOCD can get effective results.
