Dynamic Community Detection

Dynamic community detection identifies groups of densely connected nodes in networks that evolve over time, tracking how communities form, merge, split, and dissolve across temporal snapshots. Developed to extend static modularity optimization to time-varying structures, it is widely used in social, biological, and communication network research.
