Abstract
Various embodiments are directed to techniques for countering oscillation in community assignments of nodes in a network during detection of its communities. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions operable to cause a computing device to derive a first connectedness metric of a first community to which a first node of a network belongs and a second connectedness metric of a second community to which a second node of the network belongs in parallel in an iteration of parallel detection of communities in the network, wherein the first and second nodes are connected in the network; randomly pin the first node to prevent its reassignment to another community during the iteration; compare the first and second connectedness metrics during the iteration; and reassign the second node from the second community to the first community based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
