LLSA

These codes are for our paper "Local Lanczos Spectral Approximation for Community Detection"

Requirements

Before compiling codes, the following software should be installed in your system.

• Matlab
• gcc (for Linux and Mac) or Microsoft Visual Studio (for Windows)

Datasets Information

• SNAP datasets (available at http://snap.stanford.edu/data/)
• LFR benchmark graphs (available at http://sites.google.com/site/santofortunato/inthepress2/)

Example dataset

• Amazon dataset (available at http://snap.stanford.edu/data/com-Amazon.html)
• nodes: 334863, edges: 925872
• nodes are products, edges are co-purchase relationships
• top 5000 communities with ground truth size >= 3

How to run LLSA algorithm

$ cd LLSA_codes 
$ matlab 
$ mex -largeArrayDims GetLocalCond.c   % compile the mex file 
$ mex -largeArrayDims hkgrow_mex.cpp   % compile the mex file 
$ LLSA(k,alpha) 

Command Options for LLSA algorithm:

k: number of Lanczos iteration (default: 4)

alpha: a parameter controls local minimal conductance (default: 1.03)

How to run baseline algorithms

run LOSP algorithm

$ cd baseline_codes/LOSP
$ matlab 
$ LOSP

run HK algorithm

$ cd baseline_codes/HK
$ matlab 
$ mex -largeArrayDims hkgrow_mex.cpp   % compile the mex file 
$ HK

run PR algorithm

$ cd baseline_codes/PR
$ matlab 
$ mex -largeArrayDims pprgrow_mex.cc   % compile the mex file 
$ PR
