Community Structure in Networks Seminar

Many networks have cohesive groups of nodes called "communities". The study of community structure borrows ideas from many areas, and there exist myriad methods to detect communities algorithmically. Community structure has also been insightful in many applications, as it can reveal social organization in friendship networks, groups of simultaneously active brain regions in functional brain networks, and more. My collaborators and I have been very active in studying community structure, and I will discuss some of our work on both methodological development and applications. I'll include examples from subjects like social networks, brain networks, granular materials, and more.
