Our algorithms are implemented in Python 3.10.12 and all experiments are executed on a server with an Intel (R) Xeon (R) E5-2680 [email protected] CPU and 256GB RAM running Ubuntu 18.04.
Ps: Our code can also run on a desktop with Apple M1 and 8GB RAM running macOS Monterey 12.3 (and Inter(R) Core(TM) [email protected] and 16 GB RAM running Windows 10). But we recommend you run it on a server because the server has enough memory to handle large datasets and run faster.
We focus on identifying the communities from a temporal network, in which each temporal edge is associated with a timestamp. In particular, temporal edges are stored in the raw data where each line is one temporal edge.
from_id | \t | to_id | \t | timestamps |

Due to the space limit, we only upload some small datasets. But, you can download all original datasets used in our paper from the following table or the preprocessed datasets from

Our model has only one parameter, alpha
, which ranges from 0 to 1, and its default value is 0.2. If you want to change alpha
, you can modify it in line 553 of qtcs.py.
