5. Conclusion
The Leader-Community Detection Algorithms are introduced for finding community structure in social networks. The proposed approach shows a major advantage, which does not require prior knowledge of the number of leaders and communities. The proposed approach begins with leader detection to find the most influential nodes of the network, followed by community detection. For each detected leader, its community is built by seeking similar nodes. Experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed algorithms LCDA1 and LCDA2 is reliable in terms of accuracy and finding community structure based on modularity, NMI and ARI. While the ARI values are not as reliable for larger size networks, it still represents a significant improvement relative to previous versions of LeadersRank algorithms.
