Abstract  

[Objective] This paper proposes an algorithm to predict the number of communities, aiming to improve the issues facing community detection algorithms. [Methods] First, we modified the Bayesian information criterion with characteristics of overlapping and non-overlapping community detection algorithms. Then, we constructed the Network Bayesian Information Criterion Algorithm to predict the number of communities. [Results] The accuracy and stability of the proposed algorithm were better than those of the Silhouette and Modularity algorithms. The accuracy of the former was 18% higher than those of the latter at least. [Limitations] Our new algorithm only includes the network structures. [Conclusions] The proposed algorithm based on Bayesian information criterion could effectively predict the number of network communities.
