Density-based clustering of information networks by substructure optimization
… involves constructing a maximal spanning forest (MSF) and deleting edges having weights below a threshold, leaving the connected components as clusters. In large networks, the data may contain large scale variances in the noise density level, which causes the baseline method to perform poorly. We …
