Abstract The community detection problem in networks aims at finding, in a given graph, highly related groups of vertices. The identification of these groups is applied to various research areas, which is the reason why the problem has been intensively studied. Modularity maximization is a common approach for community detection in networks. However, the problem that decides whether a partition has maximum modularity is NP-Complete, thus finding heuristic strategies on literature for its solution is very common. The project premise is to propose, based on the literature review, a heuristic for the modularity maximization problem efficient for large-scale graphs for which there are few heuristics. It is expected that the proposed heuristic, besides being efficient, finds competitive solutions with the current state-of-the-art. (AU) | |
