Computer Science and Engineering Master's Degree Thesis

Title: Clustering Graphs

Subtitle: Applying a Label Propagation Algorithm to Detect Communities in Graph Databases

The thesis is on the detection of collaboration communities in the academia by making use of graph databases such as Neo4j or ArangoDB and a Label Propagation Community Detection Algorithm. To visualize the results, a full webapp was built made of a frontend interface with React, TypeScript and CytoscapeJS consuming a custom built GraphQL API with NodeJS and Express.
