The first time the community detection problem is addressed by a game-theoretic framework that considers community formation as the result of individual agents’ rational behaviors, and the algorithm is effective in identifying overlapping communities.

This paper proposes an extension to the independent cascade model that incorporates the emergence and propagation of negative opinions, and designs an efficient algorithm to compute influence in tree structures, which is nontrivial due to the negativity bias in the model.
