PALM: Un algorithme parallèle pour extraire des clusters de liens dans les réseaux sociaux
Abstract
In this paper, we focus on the optimization of the search for cluster of links. In particular,
we propose PALM (Stattner et al., 2017), a parallel algorithm that aims to improve the efficiency
of the extraction by simultaneously exploring several areas of the search space. For this
purpose, we begin by demonstrating that the solution space forms a concept lattice. Then, we
propose an approach that explores in parallel the branches of the lattice while reducing the
search space based on various properties of the clusters. We demonstrate the efficiency of the
algorithm by comparing the performances with the original extraction approach. The results
obtained show a significant gain on the computation time.
