Fast unfolding of communities in large networks: 15 years later
The Louvain method was proposed 15 years ago as a heuristic method for the fast detection of communities in large networks. During this period, it has emerged as one of the most popular methods for community detection: the task of partitioning vertices of a network into dense groups, usually called communities or clusters. Here, after a short introduction to the method, we give an overview of the different generalizations, modifications and improvements that have been proposed in the literature, and also survey the quality functions, beyond modularity, for which it has been implemented. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on the limitations of the method and perspectives for future research.

"He has to start being more proactive and to find a real solution to this situation, not stay in standby without interfering. It's a very irresponsible position from the owner of Telegram," she said. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp.
