Abstract

Detection of hierarchical and overlapping community structures for social networks is crucial in social network analysis. Previous strategies were focused on a two-stage strategy for separately detecting hierarchical and overlapping community structures. This paper develops a one-stage memetic algorithm for concurrently detecting hierarchical and overlapping community structures in social networks, where quality evaluation functions, community capacity, and hierarchical levels are taken into account to increase the solution quality. This algorithm includes a local search scheme to improve the solution searching ability. Through simulation, this algorithm shows pleasing quality.
