This repository is a fork of the code developed around the MSc Thesis:
Ilias Sarantopoulos, “Tracking the Evolution of Communities in Dynamic Social Networks” MSc Thesis, Athens University of Economics and Business, 2017
and updated to work with Python 3 in a Windows environment. More experiments and optimizations are going to be done.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
All packages available through pip can be found in the file 'requirements.txt'. You can install them by running:
pip install -r requirements.txt
There are 3 more external packages used: 'GED' is the python repository available in demokritos-github for Group Evolution Discovery. 'omni' is the C++ package for NMI evaluation developed by and available in onmi-Github-repo and 'ncp' is the package available in NNTF-Github-repo for Non Negative Tensor Factorization with the least alternate squares method.
Each of the scripts in the root directory that starts with "experiments_{dataset}" describes a full set of comparative experiments for a specific dataset. The user should change the path to the files where the dataset exists. Running the script will produce a txt file "results_{dataset}" which will contain the evaluated results of each method (GED, NNTF, Muturank).
