5 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we presented a novel cuckoo search al-
gorithm, RKCSA, for community detection in social
networks. Where we proposed a new solution rep-
resentation that combines the locus and random key
representations of the network to enhance its search
ability. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world
networks show that RKCSA can accurately and ef-
fectively uncover the community structure. We also
demonstrated the superior performance of RKCSA
compared to the standard CSA algorithm. However,
in real-life networks, we can find multiple relation-
ships between a couple of nodes. Therefore, we
aim to extend our algorithm to handle multilayer net-
works.
