Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for discovering heterogeneous communities with shared anomalous components is provided. A graph is obtained that includes vertices representing entities that are connected by edges representing associated with the entities represented by the connected vertices. The vertices are associated with collections of words of different categories, each of the words describing an item associated with at least one of the events. Each of the vertices is further associated with topics describing a type of activity of the entity represented by that vertex. Communities within the graph are identified, each including at least two of the connected vertices. Identified as anomalous are categories of words whose removal from the collections associated with the vertices in a community increases a likelihood of that community being associated and the collections of the words associated with the community vertices.
