Kenny Bastani created SPARK-9975: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add Normalized Closeness Centrality to Spark GraphX Key: SPARK-9975 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9975 Project: Spark Issue Type: New Feature Components: GraphX Reporter: Kenny Bastani Priority: Minor
“Closeness centrality” is also defined as a proportion. First, the distance of a vertex from all other vertices in the network is counted. Normalization is achieved by defining closeness centrality as the number of other vertices divided by this sum (De Nooy et al., 2005, p. 127). Because of this normalization, closeness centrality provides a global measure about the position of a vertex in the network, while betweenness centrality is defined with reference to the local position of a vertex. -- Cited from http://arxiv.org/pdf/0911.2719.pdf This request is to add normalized closeness centrality as a core graph algorithm in the GraphX library. I implemented this algorithm for a graph processing extension to Neo4j (https://github.com/kbastani/neo4j-mazerunner#supported-algorithms) and I would like to put it up for review for inclusion into Spark. This algorithm is very straight forward and builds on top of the included ShortestPaths (SSSP) algorithm already in the library. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
