In this paper, researchers delve into the mechanisms underlying modularity maximization, a popular approach for community detection in graphs. They explore the connections between modularity maximization and graph contrastive learning, which has emerged as a dominant line of research in graph clustering. The authors propose MAGI, a community-aware graph clustering framework that leverages modularity maximization as a contrastive pretext task to uncover community information in graphs while avoiding semantic drift. MAGI is shown to be effective and scalable on multiple graph datasets, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.

Graphs are like networks of friends. Imagine you’re trying to group your friends into teams based on who they hang out with. That’s kind of what this paper is about: grouping nodes in a graph together based on how connected they are. There are lots of ways to do this, but some methods are better than others. This paper looks at one method called modularity maximization and figures out why it works so well. The authors even come up with a new way to use modularity maximization that makes it faster and more accurate.
