Mining Community Structures in Multidimensional Networks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate the problem of community detection in multidimensional networks, that is, networks where entities engage in various interaction types (dimensions) simultaneously. While some approaches have been proposed to identify community structures in multidimensional networks, there are a number of problems still to solve. In fact, the majority of the proposed approaches suffer from one or even more of the following limitations: (1) difficulty detecting communities in networks characterized by the presence of many irrelevant dimensions, (2) lack of systematic procedures to explicitly identify the relevant dimensions of each community, and (3) dependence on a set of user-supplied parameters, including the number of communities, that require a proper tuning. Most of the existing approaches are inadequate for dealing with these three issues in a unified framework. In this paper, we develop a novel approach that is capable of addressing the aforementioned limitations in a single framework. The proposed approach allows automated identification of communities and their sub-dimensional spaces using a novel objective function and a constrained label propagation-based optimization strategy. By leveraging the relevance of dimensions at the node level, the strategy aims to maximize the number of relevant within-community links while keeping track of the most relevant dimensions. A notable feature of the proposed approach is that it is able to automatically identify low dimensional community structures embedded in a high dimensional space. Experiments on synthetic and real multidimensional networks illustrate the suitability of the new method.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
