Clustering

Clustering algorithms.

The attribute labels_ assigns a label (cluster index) to each node of the graph.

Louvain

Here are the available notions of modularity for the Louvain algorithm:

Modularity

Formula

Newman ('newman')

\(Q = \frac{1}{w} \sum_{i,j}\left(A_{ij} - \gamma \frac{d_id_j}{w}\right)\delta_{c_i,c_j}\)

Dugué ('dugue')

\(Q = \frac{1}{w} \sum_{i,j}\left(A_{ij} - \gamma \frac{d^+_id^-_j}{w}\right)\delta_{c_i,c_j}\)

Potts ('potts')

\(Q = \sum_{i,j}\left(\frac{A_{ij}}{w} - \gamma \frac{1}{n^2}\right)\delta_{c_i,c_j}\)

where
  • \(A\) is the adjacency matrix,

  • \(c_i\) is the cluster of node \(i\),

  • \(d_i\) is the degree of node \(i\),

  • \(d^+_i, d^-_i\) are the out-degree, in-degree of node \(i\) (for directed graphs),

  • \(w = 1^TA1\) is the sum of degrees,

  • \(\delta\) is the Kronecker symbol,

  • \(\gamma \ge 0\) is the resolution parameter.

For bipartite graphs, the considered adjacency matrix is

\(A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & B\\B^T & 0\end{pmatrix}\)

for Newman modularity and Potts modularity (i.e., the graph is considered as undirected), and

\(A = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & B\\0 & 0\end{pmatrix}\)

for Dugué modularity (i.e., the graph is considered as directed). The latter is the default option and corresponds to Barber’s modularity:

\(Q = \frac{1}{w} \sum_{i,j}\left(B_{ij} - \gamma \frac{d_if_j}{w}\right)\delta_{c_i,c_j}\)

where \(i\) in the row index, \(j\) in the column index, \(d_i\) is the degree of row \(i\), \(f_j\) is the degree of column \(j\) and \(w = 1^TB1\) is the sum of degrees (either rows or columns).

When the graph is weighted, the degree of a node is replaced by its weight (sum of edge weights).

class sknetwork.clustering.Louvain(resolution: float = 1, modularity: str = 'dugue', tol_optimization: float = 0.001, tol_aggregation: float = 0.001, n_aggregations: int = - 1, shuffle_nodes: bool = False, sort_clusters: bool = True, return_membership: bool = True, return_aggregate: bool = True, random_state: Optional[Union[numpy.random.mtrand.RandomState, int]] = None, verbose: bool = False)[source]

Louvain algorithm for clustering graphs by maximization of modularity.

For bipartite graphs, the algorithm maximizes Barber’s modularity by default.

Parameters
  • resolution – Resolution parameter.

  • modularity (str) – Which objective function to maximize. Can be 'Dugue', 'Newman' or 'Potts' (default = 'dugue').

  • tol_optimization – Minimum increase in the objective function to enter a new optimization pass.

  • tol_aggregation – Minimum increase in the objective function to enter a new aggregation pass.

  • n_aggregations – Maximum number of aggregations. A negative value is interpreted as no limit.

  • shuffle_nodes – Enables node shuffling before optimization.

  • sort_clusters – If True, sort labels in decreasing order of cluster size.

  • return_membership – If True, return the membership matrix of nodes to each cluster (soft clustering).

  • return_aggregate – If True, return the adjacency matrix of the graph between clusters.

  • random_state – Random number generator or random seed. If None, numpy.random is used.

  • verbose – Verbose mode.

Variables
  • labels_ (np.ndarray) – Labels of the nodes.

  • labels_row_ (np.ndarray) – Labels of the rows (for bipartite graphs).

  • labels_col_ (np.ndarray) – Labels of the columns (for bipartite graphs).

  • membership_ (sparse.csr_matrix) – Membership matrix of the nodes, shape (n_nodes, n_clusters).

  • membership_row_ (sparse.csr_matrix) – Membership matrix of the rows (for bipartite graphs).

  • membership_col_ (sparse.csr_matrix) – Membership matrix of the columns (for bipartite graphs).

  • aggregate_ (sparse.csr_matrix) – Aggregate adjacency matrix or biadjacency matrix between clusters.

>>> from sknetwork.clustering import Louvain
>>> from sknetwork.data import karate_club
>>> louvain = Louvain()
>>> adjacency = karate_club()
