GWBM: an algorithm based on grey wolf optimization and balanced modularity for community discovery in social networks

One of the crucial research areas in the analysis of complex social networks is the identification of communities. Since community detection is an NP-complete problem, numerous meta-heuristic approaches have been used for this problem, mostly taking “modularity” as the objective function. However, modularity-based optimization methods suffer from resolution limit. In this paper, a novel community detection algorithm is proposed that aims to...
