Multilayer Community Detection

Multilayer community detection identifies groups of nodes that are densely connected across multiple types of relationships simultaneously. By coupling layers of a network — such as friendship, advice, and collaboration ties — it finds communities that are coherent not just within one relation type but across all of them, revealing structure that single-layer analysis would miss.
