Περίληψη: Nowadays, the amount of digitally available information has tremendously grown, with real-world data graphs outreaching the billion vertices. Focusing on social media, which usage is universally spread, information networks can be deemed as the predominant data structure due to their handily compact representation. Hence, graph analysis techniques have been broadly adopted due to their inherent efficiency in handling hierarchical data. Specifically, one of the most thoroughly studied graph partitioning problems is community detection that aim to form groups of vertices according to a well-defined similarity measure due toits apparent abstraction. With extensive application in a wide range of scientific sectors -e.g. bio-informatics, sociology, nonlinear dynamics, digital marketing, computer science, etc.;- where the concept of retrieving the subjacent hierarchical structure from complex information networks is a major concern, the significance of community detection is strongly underlined. Despite the impressive amount of research that has yet been published to tackle this NP-hard class problem, the existing algorithms have practically been proven not only inefficient but mainly unscalable in case of contemporary social media graphs, for which polynomial solutions are prohibitive. In this regard, the purpose of this seminar is the presentation of distributed community detection methodologies that are capable of efficiently extracting the subjacent community hierarchy of any given social graph in spite of its size and density.
