 Community detection has been one of the central problems in network 
  
 studies and directed network is particular challenging due to asymmetry 
  
 among its links. In this talk, we discuss incorporating the direction of 
  
 links reveals new perspective on communities regarding to two different 
  
 roles, source and terminal. Intriguingly, such communities appear to be 
  
 connected with unique spectral property of the graph Laplacian of the 
  
 adjacency matrix and we exploit this connection by using regularized SVD 
  
 methods. We propose harvesting algorithms, coupled with regularized SVDs, 
  
 that are linearly scalable for efficient identification of communities in 
  
 huge directed networks.The algorithm showed great performance and 
  
 scalability on benchmark networks in simulations and successfully 
  
 recovered communities in real social networks applications (with ~ 2 
  
 million nodes and ~ 50 million edges). This is a joint work with Sungmin 
  
 Kim (OSU)。
