Abstract In this paper, we present an augmented Lagrangian alternating direction algorithm for symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization. The convergence of the algorithm is also proved in detail and strictly. Then we present a modified overlapping community detection method which is based on the presented symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm. We apply the modified community detection method to several real world networks. The obtained results show the capability of our method in detecting overlapping communities, hubs and outliers. We find that our experimental results have better quality than several competing methods for identifying communities.

1 Introduction Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a matrix decomposition method proposed by Lee and Seung in 1999 in Nature [1]. NMF decomposes the nonnegative data matrix A ∈ Rm×n as a product of two nonnegative matrices U ∈ Rr×m and V ∈ Rr×n such that the objective function

is minimized, where 0 < r ≪ min{m, n} is a given positive integer and ‖ ⋅ ‖F represents the Frobenius norm of the corresponding matrix. NMF plays an important role in many real applications, such as extraction and identification applicable to image processing [1–4], text mining [5–8], spectral data analysis [9], speech processing [10], air quality analysis , and so on. Moreover, NMF is a feature extraction and dimensionality reduction technique in machine learning, which has been * Gongde Guo [email protected] 1

adapted to community detection recently. For example, Zarei et al. [11] introduced a vertex−vertex correlation matrix and proposed a NMF-based algorithm for identifying the structure of overlapping communities in complex networks. Psorakis et al. [12] proposed a probabilistic approach which utilized a Bayesian nonnegative matrix factorization model to extract overlapping modules from a network. Wang et al. [13] developed three different techniques, Symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization (SNMF), Asymmetric NMF (ANMF) and Joint NMF (JNMF) to identify the hidden communities on different networks. Cao et al. [14] utilized symmetric NMF to identifying overlapping communities as well as hubs and outliers. They not only focused on the detection of communities, but also took into account the identification of vertex roles. Cao et al. [14] adopted a multiplicative updating rule to decompose the symmetric nonnegative data matrix. However, t
