Importance of Numerical Implementation and Clustering Analysis in Force-Directed Algorithms for Accurate Community Detection

作者：

Highlights：

• Force-Directed Algorithms can outperform classical community detection methods;

• FDAs accuracy depends on the force model, its implementation, and the cluster analysis.

• FDAs accuracy is improved when choosing large spatial dimensions (D>4) for the layout.
