Centrality

  • Algorithms for detecting clusters/communities
  • Good utility for feature extraction for datasets

Degree Centrality

  • Count the amount of neighbors for each node
  • Return a list of neighbor counts
  • Return value from list with the highest amount of neighbors

Closeness Centrality

  • Provide vertex for finding closeness centrality
  • Initialize a sum to 0
  • Iterate through each vertex in the graph
  • Get the shortest path from the current node and the vertex provided
  • Add the result of the shortest path to the sum
  • Return value equal to $1/sum$ where sum is the original initlaized value
