# cdlib.algorithms.infomap_bipartite¶

infomap_bipartite(g_original: object, flags: str = '') → cdlib.classes.bipartite_node_clustering.BiNodeClustering

Infomap is based on ideas of information theory. The algorithm uses the probability flow of random walks on a bipartite network as a proxy for information flows in the real system and it decomposes the network into modules by compressing a description of the probability flow.

Supported Graph Types

Undirected Directed Weighted Bipartite
Yes Yes Yes Yes
Parameters: g_original – a networkx/igraph object flags – str flags for Infomap BiNodeClustering object
>>> from cdlib import algorithms
>>> import networkx as nx
>>> G = nx.karate_club_graph()
>>> coms = algorithms.infomap_bipartite(G)
