Abstract

Graph Clustering is a fundamental problem in many areas of research. The purpose of clustering is to organize people, objects, and events in different clusters in such a way that there exist a relatively strong degree of association between the members of each cluster and a relatively weak degree of association between members of different clusters. In this paper, a new algorithm named self-organizing map for clustering social networks (SOMSN) is proposed for detecting such groups. SOMSN is based on self-organizing map neural network. In SOMSN, by adapting new weight-updating method, a social network is divided into different clusters according to the topological connection of each node. These clusters are the communities that mentioned above, in social networks. To show the effectiveness of the presented approach, SOMSN has been applied on several classic social networks with known number of communities and defined structure. The results of these experiments show that the clustering accuracy of SOMSN is superior compared to the traditional algorithms.
