LMU Munich, Department of Statistics and via zoom

This talk compares inferential and descriptive community detection algorithms on a principled scale. It associates each objective with an implicit generative model, enabling the computation of the network’s description length. The approach allows unbiased comparisons, revealing intrinsic biases.
