I've recently been looking into community detection for NetworX graphs for my collection of notes. How does performance compare with other community detection packages for NetworkX like Python-Louvain?

Random side note: nowadays 'Leiden' is a recommended improvement on 'Louvain', fixing some connectivity issues and being faster: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-41695-z https://github.com/vtraag/leidenalg

Performance measured by what? NMI? Modularity?

Not super familiar with the measures, I'm just curious how it compares to other available approaches

Louvain greedily optimizes modularity - it is hard to beat it in terms of modularity.
