Community structure in networks
Lecture 17
Outline
 One mode networks and cohesive subgroups
 measures of cohesion
 types of subgroups
 Affiliation networks
 team assembly
Why care about group cohesion?
 opinion formation and uniformity
 if each node adopts the opinion of the majority of its
neighbors, it is possible to have different opinions in
different cohesive subgroups
within a cohesive subgroup – greater uniformity
Other reasons to care
 Discover communities of practice (more on this next
time)
 Measure isolation of groups
 Threshold processes:
 I will adopt an innovation if some number of my contacts do
 I will vote for a measure if a fraction of my contacts do
What properties indicate cohesion?
 mutuality of ties
 everybody in the group knows everybody else
 closeness or reachability of subgroup members
 individuals are separated by at most n hops
 frequency of ties among members
 everybody in the group has links to at least k others in the group
 relative frequency of ties among subgroup members
compared to nonmembers
Cliques
 Every member of the group has links to every other
member
 Cliques can overlap
overlapping cliques of size 3
clique of size 4
Considerations in using cliques as subgroups
 Not robust
 one missing link can disqualify a clique
 Not interesting
 everybody is connected to everybody else
 no core-periphery structure
 no centrality measures apply
 How cliques overlap can be more interesting than that
they exist
 Pajek
 remember from class on motifs:
 construct a network that is a clique of the desired size
 Nets>Fragment (1 in 2)>Find
a less stingy definition of cohesive subgroups: k cores
 Each node within a group is connected to k other nodes
in the group
4 core
3 core
Pajek: Net>Partitions>Core>Input,Output,All
Assigns each vertex to the largest k-core it belongs to
subgroups based on reachability and diameter
 n – cliques
 maximal distance between any two nodes in subgroup is n
2-cliques
 theoretical justification
 information flow through intermediaries
frequency of in group ties
 Compare # of in-group ties
within-group ties
ties from group to nodes external to the group
Given number of edges incident on nodes in the group, what is the probability
that the observed fraction of them fall within the group?
The smaller the probability – the stronger the cohesion
considerations with n-cliques
 problem
 diameter may be greater than n
 n-clique may be disconnected (paths go through nodes not in
subgroup)
2 – clique
diameter = 3
path outside the 2-clique
 fix
 n-club: maximal subgraph of diameter 2
cohesion in directed and weighted networks
 something we’ve already learned how to do:
 find strongly connected components
 keep only a subset of ties before finding connected
components
 reciprocal ties
 edge weight above a threshold

Example: political
blogs
(Aug 29th – Nov 15th, 2004)
A) all citations between A-list
blogs in 2 months
preceding the 2004
election
B) citations between A-list
blogs with at least 5
citations in both directions
C) edges further limited to
those exceeding 25
combined citations
only 15% of the
citations bridge
communities
Affiliation networks
 otherwise known as
 membership network
 e.g. board of directors
 hypernetwork or hypergraph
 bipartite graphs
 interlocks
m-slices
 transform to a one-mode network
 weights of edges correspond to number of affiliations in
common
 m-slice: maximal subnetwork containing the lines with a
multiplicity equal to or greater than m

Issues in assembling teams
 Why assemble a team?
 different ideas
 different skills
 different resources
 What spurs innovation?
 applying proven innovations from one domain to another
 Is diversity (working with new people) always good?
 spurs creativity + fresh thinking
 but
 conflict
 miscommunication
 lack of sense of security of working with close collaborators
Parameters in team assembly
1. m, # of team members
2. p, probability of selecting individuals who already
belong to the network
3. q, propensity of incumbents to select past collaborators
Two phases
 giant component of interconnected collaborators
 isolated clusters
creation of a new team
 incumbents (people who have already collaborated with
someone)
 newcomers (people available to participate in new
teams)
 pick incumbent with probability p
 if incumbent, pick past collaborator with probability q
Time evolution of a collaboration network
newcomer-newcomer collaborations
newcomer-incumbent collaborations
new incumbent-incumbent collaborations
repeat collaborations
after a time t of inactivity, individuals are removed from the network
BMI data
 Broadway musical industry
 2258 productions
 from 1877 to 1990
 musical shows performed at least
once on Broadway
 team: composers, writers,
choreographers, directors, producers
but not actors
 Team size increases from 1877-1929
 the musical as an art form is still
evolving
 After 1929 team composition
stabilizes to include 7 people:
 choreographer, composer, director,
librettist, lyricist, producer
Collaboration networks
 4 fields (with the top journals in each field)
 social psychology (7)
 economics (9)
 ecology (10)
 astronomy (4)
 impact factor of each journal
 ratio between citations and recent citable items published
 A= total cites in 1992
 B= 1992 cites to articles published in 1990-91 (this is a subset of A)
 C= number of articles published in 1990-91
 D= B/C = 1992 impact factor
size of teams grows over time
degree distributions
data
data generated
from a model with
the same p and q
and sequence of
team sizes formed
Predictions for the size of the giant component
 higher p means already published individuals are co-
authoring – linking the network together and increasing
the giant component
S = fraction of network occupied by the giant component
Predictions for the size of the giant component
(cont’d)
 increasing q can slow the growth of the giant component
– co-authoring with previous collaborators does not
create new edges

what stands out?
what is similar across the networks?
different network
topologies
ecology
economics
astronomy
main findings
 all networks except astronomy close to the “tipping” point
where giant component emerges
 sparse and stringy networks
 giant component takes up more than 50% of nodes in
each network
 impact factor (how good the journal is where the work
was published)
 p positively correlated
 going with experienced members is good
 q negatively correlated
 new combinations more fruitful
ecology, economics,
social psychology
 S for individual journals positively correlated
 more isolated clusters in lower-impact journals
