A flow-based method for mining web communities
Yongping Zhang · Journal of Yanshan University · 2007
Web community is a collection of web pages shared by individuals or organizations.A stricter web community definition is introduced,in which both inside vertices and outside vertices of a community are conditioned,to overcome boundary ambiguity of other web community definitions.A web community mining algorithm is designed according to our definition,which thinks of the properties of the web,uses maximum flow/minimum cut algorithm in the network flow constructed,and then the web community is found.The result demonstrates that the proposed approach can mine out big meaningful communities.
