This project 2 is to implement the algorithm discussed in Paper 1, Efficient Identification of Overlapping Communities.

This project has been tested on CSC591_ADBI_v3 VCL environment.

Please ensure the networkx to be installed beforehand, or run the following command to install:

pip3 install networkx

If the installtion failed from the command above, please download from website and following the instructioins on the website to install. https://pypi.org/project/networkx/#files

After download the zip, first unzip the zip file and get into the folder.

unzip GDM_Project2.zip
cd GDM_Project2

Once the path is under GDM_Project2, please run the command as follows.

python3 main.py <path/to/file/file>

For example, if we would like to run the amazon.graph.small, please run the command as following:

python3 main.py ./datasets/amazon/amazon.graph.small 

After the program complete, the final communiites will be store in result/output.txt, the program should run 3 mins to 10 mins depending on the graph size.

Note that output.txt will be overwrited if re-run the prorgam. The output file will be in the format as below:

0 1
2 3 6 7 119 119
35 366 988 23 98 112 

Each line present the nodes with same community and, for example, the second community contains 6 nodes.
