The purpose of this Special Issue is to emphasize work focusing on theoretical and practical contributions to community detection or network embedding . The Special Issue will pay great attention to the scalability of the algorithm, the fairness, interpretability and reproducibility of the results, as well as to ecological considerations. Last but not least, this Special Issue will not promote performance over original and meaningful ideas.

This Special Issue is opened but not limited to the following topics:

Community detection algorithms
Overlapping communities
Incremental community detection
Directed, dynamic, multiplex graphs
Network embedding
Fairness and interpretability in network science
Image and signal processing using graph techniques
Natural language processing using graph techniques

Manuscript Submission Information

For further details on the submission process, please see Instructions for Authors at the journal website (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/instructions).

All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Deadline: The deadline for manuscript submission is 31 May 2021.
