Multilayer Artificial Benchmark for Community Detection (mABCD)

Abstract: The Artificial Benchmark for Community Detection (ABCD) model is a random graph model with community structure and power-law distribution for both degrees and community sizes. The model generates graphs similar to the well-known LFR model but it is faster, more interpretable, and can be investigated analytically. In this paper, we use the underlying ingredients of the ABCD model and introduce its variant for multilayer networks, mABCD.
