摘要

The study of community detection algorithms in complex networks has been very active in the past several years. In this paper, a Hybrid Self-adaptive Community Detection Algorithm (HSCDA) based on modularity is put forward first. In HSCDA, three different crossover and two different mutation operators for community detection are designed and then combined to form a strategy pool, in which the strategies will be selected probabilistically based on statistical self-adaptive learning framework. Then, by adopting the best evolving strategy in HSCDA, a Multiobjective Community Detection Algorithm (MCDA) based on kernel k-means (KKM) and ratio cut (RC) objective functions is proposed which efficiently make use of recommendation of strategy by statistical self-adaptive learning framework, thus assisting the process of community detection. Experimental results on artificial and real networks show that the proposed algorithms achieve a better performance compared with similar state-of-the-art approaches.
