Abstract(in English) Community detection in a social network is an important topic in the network science research field. In this paper, we evaluate the robustness of a community detection algorithm using information diffusion cascades against deletion of the diffusion cascades. In the existing studies, the robustness of community detection algorithms againstrandom missing cascades has been evaluated. In contrast, in this paper, we evaluate the robustness of community detection against biased missing data where the cascades of a certain amount of users are not available. Through experiments utilizing diffusion cascades on Twitter and synthetic diffusion cascades, we evaluate the effectiveness of the existing community detection algorithm called CosineSim under imperfect diffusion cascades. Consequently, we show that even when the diffusion cascades of 10% users are missing, the CosineSim achieves as high community detection accuracy as when the complete diffusion cascades are available.
