Map Creator Communities for a Short-Form Video Platform
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You receive a 90-day sample of about 4 million creator-creator interactions (duets, mentions, audience overlap) and creator metadata (region, language, content tag). Build a creator interaction graph, run community detection (Louvain or Leiden), and produce both an interactive visualization (Gephi or web-based) and a tabular summary of the top 20 communities by size, density, and engagement. Identify three monetization-relevant patterns. Deliver the map, the table, and a 4-page memo.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Map the platform's creator-community structure and recommend the top three communities to prioritize for monetization outreach.
