| Summary: | There are many evolving dynamic networks in the real world, and community detection in dynamic networks is crucial in many complex network analysis applications. In this paper, a consensus community-based discrete spider wasp optimization (SWO) approach is proposed for the dynamic network community detection problem. First, the coding, initialization, and updating strategies of the spider wasp optimization algorithm are discretized to adapt to the community detection problem. Second, the concept of intra-population and inter-population consensus community is proposed. Consensus community is the knowledge formed by the swarm summarizing the current state as well as the past history. By maintaining certain inter-population consensus community during the evolutionary process, the population in the current time window can evolve in a similar direction to those in the previous time step. Experimental results on many artificial and real dynamic networks show that the proposed method produces more accurate and robust results than current methods. |
