   Abstract:
   We cast the problem of discovering the community structure in networks as the composition of community candidates, obtained from several community detection base algorithms, into a coherent structure. In turn, this composition can be cast into a maximum-weight clique problem, and we propose an ant colony optimization algorithm to solve it. Our results show that the proposed method is able to discover better community structures, according to several evaluation criteria, than the ones obtained with the base algorithms. It also outperforms, both in quality and in speed, the recently introduced FG-Tiling algorithm. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
