Mosaic benchmark networks: Modular link streams for testing dynamic community detection algorithms

Résumé

Community structure is a critical feature of real networks, providing insights into nodes’ internal organization. Nowadays, with the availability of highly detailed temporal net- works such as link streams, studying community structures becomes more complex due to increased data precision and time sensitivity. Despite numerous algorithms developed in the past decade for dynamic community discovery, assessing their performance on link streams remains a challenge. Synthetic benchmark graphs are a well-accepted approach for evaluat- ing static community detection algorithms. Additionally, there have been some proposals for slowly evolving communities in low-resolution temporal networks like snapshots. Neverthe- less, this approach is not yet suitable for link streams. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel framework that generates synthetic modular link streams with predefined communities. Subsequently, we evaluate established dynamic community detection methods to uncover lim- itations that may not be evident in snapshots with slowly evolving communities. While no method emerges as a clear winner, we observe notable differences among them.
