Figure 1

Community detection of partially observed networks utilizing geometric topology and side information. An idealized biological community is depicted on the left with three defined functional communities color coded and grouped. Experimental approaches are listed that attempt to capture this community, but complete node observation is often not achievable. The top row shows the typical process in biological network analysis: data collection, network construction, and community detection (based on the Ollivier-Ricci curvature community identification (ORCCI) algorithm). The bottom row depicts side community information typically available from expert knowledge or prior empirical analysis. Incorporation of this side information with community detection can improve community detection performance.
