infomap
(g_original: object, flags: str = '') → cdlib.classes.node_clustering.NodeClustering¶ Infomap is based on ideas of information theory. The algorithm uses the probability flow of random walks on a 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.
Parameters: - g_original – a networkx/igraph object
- flags – str flags for Infomap
Returns: NodeClustering object
Example: >>> from cdlib import algorithms >>> import networkx as nx >>> G = nx.karate_club_graph() >>> coms = algorithms.infomap(G)
