  • Patent number: 9690969
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit and a classification-proportion calculating unit. The acquiring unit acquires a granularity and network information that includes multiple nodes and multiple links connecting the multiple nodes, the granularity being used to classify the multiple nodes into multiple components. The classification-proportion calculating unit calculates a classification proportion in which each of the multiple nodes is classified as one of the components. The classification-proportion calculating unit calculates the classification proportion for each of the multiple components by using values of a first contribution and a second contribution. The first contribution takes on a high value as the classification proportion becomes high in which one of the nodes having a corresponding one of the links is classified as the component. The second contribution takes on a high value as a proportion of the component to the multiple components becomes high.
