EAGLE

Implement of EAGLE (agglomerativE hierarchicAl clusterinG based on maximaL cliquE) algorithm for network community detection proposed in paper Detect overlapping and hierarchical community structure in networks by Huawei Shen et al..

Requirements

matplotlib==3.5.1
networkx==2.6.3
numpy==1.22.2

To install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Example

Here we reproduce Figure 1(d) from the paper. Example codes can be found in example.py which detected three overlapped communities in the original network.

To run the example code, run example.py:

python example.py

The figure below shows the detected community structure of the network in Figure 1(d) from the paper by example.py and the curve of EQ corresponding to each cover of the network when the dendrogram is cut at different layer.
