Fig. 2: Test for a hyperbolic network with known ground truth communities.

a A non-uniform Popularity Similarity Optimisation (nPSO) network of size N = 1000 with 10 planted communities, indicated by the different node colours. The further parameters of the nPSO network were m = 4 β = 0.5 and T = 0.1. b The embedding of this network with Cluster Level Optimised Vertex Embedding (CLOVE), where nodes are coloured according to the ground truth communities in (a). c The angular coordinate of the nodes in the embedding, as a function of the angular coordinate in the original nPSO network. d The hyperbolic distance between node pairs in the embedding, as a function of the hyperbolic distance in the original nPSO layout. Colours indicate node pairs in the same ground truth community, whereas gray colour indicates nodes in different communities.
