Community detection on directed networks with missing edges by Pedreschi, N, Lambiotte, R, Bovet, A

“…In this work, we extend the recently developed Flow Stability framework, originally designed for detecting communities in time-varying networks, to address the problem of community detection in weighted, directed networks with missing links. Our approach leverages known uncertainty levels in nodes' out-degrees to enhance the robustness of community detection. …”
