DESCRIPTION

A simple community detection algorithm based on label propagation. LPA-algorithm is explained in http://arxiv.org/pdf/0910.1154.pdf "Advanced modularity-specialized label propagation algorithm for detecting communities in networks X. Liu, T. Murata Tokyo Institute of Technology, 2-12-1 Ookayama, Meguro, Tokyo 152-8552, Japan

REMARKS

The algorithm is very similar to the connected components algorithm, but instead of vertex choosing the minimum label of its neighbor, it chooses the most frequent one.

However, because the operation (most frequent label) is not commutative, we need to store both vertices labels in an edge. See comment below, above the struct "bidirectional_label".

Note, that this algorithm is not very sophisticated and is prone to local minimas. If you want to use this seriously, try with different initial labeling. Also, a more sophisticated algorithm called LPAm should be doable on GraphChi.
