LD-Leiden: Local Parallel Community Detection in Large Dynamic Networks

Dynamic community detection must update high-quality modularity partitions after edge batches, yet full Leiden reruns make small changes scale with the whole snapshot. Existing dynamic methods reduce work but often alter Leiden refinement, keep limited hierarchy state, or restrict graph support. This paper presents LD-Leiden, a local dynamic Leiden method for weighted directed and undirected graphs that preserves the move-refine-aggregate pipeline and updates only repaired affected regions. Its novelty is the combination of an affected-frontier rule after statistic repair, exact subtract-add aggregate repair, and conflict-filtered parallel local moves; together these mechanisms bound update cost by the visited frontier rather than the full graph. On real streams and streamed static graphs with up to 214M vertices and 3.30B edges, LD-Leiden is 48.77x faster than warm-started Leidenalg in 100-batch runs while preserving a 0.996 final modularity ratio. On the common undirected benchmark set, it is 6.94x faster than DF-Leiden and 9.73x faster than NetworKit while obtaining higher final modularity; synthetic sequences support the predicted local edge-volume scaling.

ComNetX: Local Hierarchical Adaptation for Dynamic Community Detection

Dynamic community detection is commonly addressed either by full-snapshot recomputation or by solver-specific dynamic procedures. Full recomputation preserves the semantics of mature static solvers, but it repeatedly processes unchanged graph regions when updates are small. Solver-specific dynamic methods can reduce this cost, but their update rules often have limited transferability across objectives, feature representations, and implementations. In addition, localizing computation only by graph distance may omit community context needed by high-quality solvers. We introduce ComNetX, a solver-agnostic hierarchical adaptation framework for local dynamic updates. ComNetX maintains a multi-level community state, expands the updated region, closes it over affected communities, and contracts these communities into compact local instances. This affected-community closure and contraction preserve solver context while restricting computation to the changed part of the graph. The same interface can wrap modularity heuristics, graph-clustering models that use node features, and native dynamic solvers as local backends. We evaluate ComNetX through a multi-backend study on six real networks, longer real-data streams for topology-based backends, and controlled dynamic stochastic block model stress streams. The results show that ComNetX can preserve the quality of strong modularity-based solvers while reducing update time on large graphs: in paired runs on the largest real graph, Local Leiden keeps final modularity within 0.006 of full-snapshot recomputation while achieving a 41.9 +/- 0.2x speedup. The combined protocols also identify regimes where locality breaks down and a full refresh is preferable.
