Abstract: Community detection in complex network has become a vital way to understand its structure and dynamic characteristics.However, there are two inherent shortcomings that the parameter dependency and instability of using the traditional node clustering and link clustering to detect overlapping communities.This paper proposes an improving algorithm, that is, the local expansion method based on the centered clique(CLEM), for detecting overlapping communities.Firstly, in CLEM algorithm, the centered cliques is selected as the core seed and the nodes deleted by multiple times in the process of seed expansion are punished, so its stability of results is improved.Then, by selecting the fitness function with parameter-independent and improving its iterative calculation process, the parameter limitation of the fitness function is avoided and the computational complexity is quickly reduced.Finally, the test results on synthetic networks and real-world networks show that CLEM is good both in computing time and accuracy compared with some existing algorithms.

Key words: Centered clique, Community optimization, Local expansion, Overlapping community detection, Seed expansion
