Networks as one of the most complex data are composed of nodes

and edges. Among them is the community structure which has tightly
connected nodes within. These structures are used in many
applications such as musical rhythmic pattern extraction, protein
function predictions, etc. Some popular community detection
methods are modularity-based algorithms (extremal optimization,
spectral optimization ) , divisive algorithm ( eg; GN algorithm), label
propagation algorithm etc, which do not work well with complex
structures ( structure with many intracommunity links).
Therefore, to tackle the problem many researches used prior
information in a semi supervised manner based on spin glass model (
by Eaton atal) or semi-supervised nonnegative matrix factorization
model but the prior information is scarce and not easily available for
which the unsupervised methods are preferred more. These
unsupervised method are self-organising. The famous nonnegative
matrix factorization (NMF) presumes that a network can be divided into
low dimensional subspace
