Abstract
We show that a linear algebraic formulation of the Louvain method for community detection can be derived systematically from the linear algebraic definition of modularity. Using the pygraphblas interface, a high-level Python wrapper for the GraphBLAS C Application Programming Interface (API), we demonstrate that the linear algebraic formulation of the Louvain method can be rapidly implemented.
