Σύνοψη	Bayesian community detection infers latent group structure in networks by treating community membership as unobserved variables and using Bayesian inference — typically via Markov chain Monte Carlo or variational methods — to compute a posterior distribution over all plausible partitions. Unlike modularity optimisation, it selects the number of communities from data and provides principled uncertainty estimates for every node assignment.	Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a structural method that maps and measures relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, or other entities modeled as nodes connected by ties (edges). Rather than focusing on individual attributes, SNA reveals how the pattern of connections shapes behavior, influence, information flow, and outcomes within a system.
