Abstract: The dynamic and ever-evolving nature of Internet-generated temporal networks poses significant challenges for traditional network analysis methods, which often overlook the rich temporal information embedded within the data. This oversight can lead to an incomplete understanding of the network’s structure and its evolutionary patterns over time. To tackle this problem, this paper introduces an algorithm designed to uncover tightly knit communities within short time spans by leveraging the comprehensive information contained in time-series data. Our method employs a computational approach that slices the temporal network into meaningful segments, enabling the identification of transient yet highly cohesive communities. Furthermore, it gauges the level of cohesion within these communities, providing analysts with a valuable tool for understanding the network’s dynamic behavior. Through experimentation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm in accurately capturing the evolving structures of temporal networks, thereby contributing to a deeper comprehension of complex network dynamics.
