Alcmean's: Unsupervised community detection using local Laplacian, automatic detection of the number of centers

arXiv:2606.09100v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Community detection is a fundamental problem in the analysis of complex networks. It has applications across social, biological, and financial domains. Traditional algorithms such as Louvain, LPA, and modularity optimization often require manual parameter tuning. They also suffer from inaccurate cluster center selection and struggle with scalability. To address these challenges, we propose Automatic Laplacian Centrality Means (ALCMeans), a novel community detection algorithm. ALCMeans combines Laplacian energy-based automatic center identificat
