We propose two metrics to quantify the level of consistencyacross multiple runs of an algorithm: pairwise membershipprobability and consistency. Based on these two metrics, weaddress the consistency problem without compromising themodularity. Our solution uses pairwise membership probabilitiesas link weights and generates consistent communities within six orfewer cycles. It offers a new tool in the study of communitystructures and their evolutions. publisher: Korean Physical Society date: 2011 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Kwak, Haewoon and Moon, Sue and Eom, Young-Ho and Choi, Yoonchan and Jeong, Hawoong Consistent community identification in complex networks.
