Remarks   of   President   Barack   Obama   Weekly   Address The   White   House August  10, 2013 video Hi, everybody.  For the past few weeks, I’ve been visiting folks across America to talk about what we need to do as a country to secure a better bargain for the middle class.  I’ve been laying out my ideas for how we can build on the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class in America.  A good job.  A good education.  Affordable health care when you get sick.  A secure retirement even if you’re not rich.  And the chance to own your own home.  This week, I went to Arizona and California, two of the states hit hardest when the housing bubble burst, triggering the recession.  All across the country, millions of responsible Americans were hurt badly by the reckless actions of others.  Home values plummeted. Construction workers were laid off.  And many families lost their ...

Introduction to Label propagation algorithm (finding community structure in social networks) Problem description : Given a network or graph, how can you find the communities in this network. Although there is no precise definition about community, it basically means densely connected component in the network and loosely connected between different communities. Input : A social network N or a graph with nodes and links between them or an adjacent matrix. Output : A vector, in which each index represents each node in the network N and the value each index points represents which community the node belongs to. Algorithm : 1. initialization by assigning an unique label to each node in N 2. while the algorithm is not convergent, (convergence means every node does not change its label or the running times has reached the maximum number) 3. for each node 4. takes the label with the maximum number of neighbors have Advantages : Scalable: its running time is O(m), where m is the n...
