Influential-node-detection

This project is about finding the importance of the node in a community, which is formed based on the source nodes. The communities are formed using DFS traversal of the seed node. The dataset used is hep-th dataset. The following metrics are implemented for influential node detection

Libraries and Tools used

Graphia software for graph visulaization Networkx. Refer this for further information: https://networkx.org/documentation/stable/reference/introduction.html

Resources used for Reference

Centiserver is a website which contains the information about all the centrality measures used in various problem domains. Refer this for more information: https://www.centiserver.org/

Why do we need many centrality measures?

1. optimal for one application while performs worse for a different application.
2. features which identify the most important vertices in a given network do not necessarily generalize to the remaining vertices.

The measures that have been implemented are as follows. Description about the measures could be found in the document.

1. Degree centrality ✅
2. Closeness centrality ✅
3. Betweeness centrality ✅
4. Harmonic centrality
5. Eigenvector centrality ✅
6. Katz centrlaity ✅
7. Percolation centrality
8. PageRank ✅
9. Freeman centrality
10. Cross clique
11. Dissimilarity measures
12. HITZ algorithm ✅
13. Degree prestige ✅
14. Proximity prestige ✅
15. Rank Prestige ✅
16. Shapley–Shubik power index
17. Voterank ✅
18. Leaderrank ✅
19. TARank ✅
20. Cocitations ✅
21. Hybrid degree centality ✅
22. Expected force of infection ✅
23. Reciprocal of Eccentricty ✅

These measures are adopted from this repository, where the measures are written in matlab. Here, it is implemented in python. https://github.com/xsxjtu/Complex-Network-Centrality

24. SVDB
25. Semilocal centrality
26. Non backtracking
