Abstract
Community detection in complex signed networks is a significant challenge, traditionally addressed using the Louvain method directly applied to the correlation matrix. This study introduces a two-tier approach that integrates a Hebbian learning rule within an adaptive signed random walk (ASRW) framework, then applies the Louvain method to the final weight matrix. This approach refines the network analysis process, providing a new tool for exploring community structure. Tested extensively on synthetic signed networks with defined community structures, our methodology consistently outperformed the traditional Louvain approach, particularly when communities were less clearly demarcated. Further application to resting-state functional MRI data from the ABIDE Preprocessed Initiative highlighted functional connectivity differences between neurotypical individuals and those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our approach found key areas of significant difference, including several cerebellum regions, consistent with existing ASD literature. Our findings underscore the potential of the proposed technique to advance community detection in correlation-based networks.
