Complex networks model real-world systems as sets of nodes with pairwise connections, and frequently have a community structure where a set of nodes are more connected within the community than outside. Detecting communities through heuristic methods is necessary due to the difficulty of trying different combinations for large networks. Community detection can be seen as a classification problem, and neural networks can be useful. The work involves training and testing a neural network with complex network models and comparing results to established community detection algorithms. Neural networks have good results for simple models, but accuracy decreases with a more flexible community generation model and is strongly affected by the training set.
