This is the data used in the experiment of the paper submited to the following conference:<br><i>N. Arinik, R. Figueiredo, V. Labatut, Multiplicity and Diversity: Analyzing the Optimal Solution Space of the Correlation Clustering Problem, in: SIAM International Conference on Data Mining, 2020.</i><br>The code source is accessible here: <i>https://github.com/CompNet/Sosocc</i><br><br>This dataset contains:<br>* Plot files used in the article<br>* Input signed networks<br>* All optimal solutions (i.e. optimal solution space) of the corresponding networks<br><br><br><br><b># PLOT FILES</b><br>* `<i>Figure1.zip</i>`: Figures showing that there might be many distinct optimal solutions of a small-sized network.<br>* `<i>Figure2.zip</i>`: Figures showing that distinct optimal solutions of a given network might be partition-wise very similar or different.<br>* `<i>Figure4: All Results.zip</i>`: Figure 4 in the article contains only a few plots regarding the results for space considerations. This zip file contains all plots, and it is organized by the values of `<i>l<sub>0</sub></i>`. In each `<i>l<sub>0</sub></i>` folder, the results are shown in three different perspectives:<br> --- Detected Imbalance Percentage vs Graph Order (i.e. number of vertices)<br> --- Prop mispl vs Graph order<br> --- Graph order vs Prop mispl<br>* `<i>workflow.pdf</i>`: The workflow of the methodology used in the article.<br>* `<i>Syrian network With All Solutions.pdf</i>`: Syrian network (on top) with core part information through node colors, and its optimal solutions in which node colors represent partition information (on bottom).<br><br><br><br><b>#NETWORKS</b><br>All networks are in `<i>Input Signed Networks.tar.gz</i>`.<br>Networks are generated through a simple random model (available in <i>https://github.com/CompNet/SignedBenchmark</i>) designed to produce complete (or uncomplete) unweighted networks with built-in modular structure. <br>There are 3 parameters used for the generation:<br>- number of nodes (`<i>n</i>`)<br>- initial number of modules (`<i>l<sub>0</sub></i>`)<br>- proportion of misplaced links, i.e. proportion of frustrated links, (`<i>q<sub>m</sub></i>`)<br><br>Inside `<i>Input Signed Networks.tar.gz</i>`:<br><br>NETWORKS<br>|__n=NB-NODE_l0=INIT_NB_MODULE_dens=1.0000<br>....|__propMispl=PROP_MISPL<br> ........|__propNeg=PROP_NEG<br> ............|__network=NETWORK_NO<br><br>- The first hierarchy =&gt; the folders are named as follows: n=NB-NODE_l0=INIT-NB-MODULE_dens=1.0000<br> The number of nodes, the initial number of modules and the network density are given.
