Community Detection in Semantic Networks: A Multi-View Approach.

The semantic social network is a complex system composed of nodes, links, and documents. Traditional semantic social network community detection algorithms only analyze network data from a single view, and there is no effective representation of semantic features at diverse levels of granularity. This paper proposes a multi-view integration method for community detection in semantic social network. We develop a data feature matrix based on node similarity and extract semantic features from the views of word frequency, keyword, and topic, respectively. To maximize the mutual information of each view, we use the robustness of L21-norm and F-norm to construct an adaptive loss function. On this foundation, we construct an optimization expression to generate the unified graph matrix and output the community structure with multiple views. Experiments on real social networks and benchmark datasets reveal that in semantic information analysis, multi-view is considerably better than single-view, and the performance of multi-view community detection outperforms traditional methods and multi-view clustering algorithms.
