About:
BCFinder is a free open-source software for detecing communities in bipartite networks. The application is developed in Java which makes it platform independent. The biclique community detecion method has the advantages of the k-clique method, but augments it with respect to one aspect: the algorithm utilizes bipartite network information in order to investigate aspects of community structure in sparse regions, where the k-clique algorithm is unable to detect communities.
BCFinder features:
- Optional scaling of nodes proportional to the number of bicliques the node participates in
- Network of communities
- Save community as EPS
- Export communities to text files
- Search for nodes and communities
- Rearrange graph layout with "selection" mouse mode
- List of node A types and node B types for each community
