Talk:Louvain method

Wrong page name![edit]

This page is not about the measure of a network property but about a method or algorithm for finding it. The very first sentence of this article and also the abstract of the Blondel paper say so, too. It is misleading to call this page "Louvain modularity", as if it is different from network modularity they optimized (Newman M E J, 2004 Phys. Rev. E 70 056131), and which is also described on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modularity_(networks)

I strongly suggest renaming this page, I suppose "Louvain algorithm" comes closest to what the original paper describes. Maybe get in touch with the original authors?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Plijnzaad (talk • contribs) 09:00, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Louvain Modularity. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130512153616/http://www.csi.ucd.ie/files/ucd-csi-2011-06.pdf to https://www.csi.ucd.ie/files/ucd-csi-2011-06.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Error in either english or french version[edit]

The english version of the wikipedia article states: "m is the sum of all of the edge weights in the graph"

The french version however, states that 2m is the sum of all edge weights in the graph.

Which one is correct? Teegeevee (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The original Louvain paper cites [1]https://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0407503 for the definition of Q. There is clearly writes near Eq.8: m ... is the number of edges in the graph.
