contents Community detection, which identifies densely connected node clusters with sparse between-group links, is vital for analyzing network structure and function in real-world systems. Most existing community detection methods based on GCNs primarily focus on node-level information while overlooking community-level features, leading to performance limitations on large-scale networks. To address this issue, we propose LQ-GCN, an overlapping community detection model from a local community perspective. LQ-GCN employs a Bernoulli-Poisson model to construct a community affiliation matrix and form an end-to-end detection framework. By adopting local modularity as the objective function, the model incorporates local community information to enhance the quality and accuracy of clustering results. Additionally, the conventional GCNs architecture is optimized to improve the model capability in identifying overlapping communities in large-scale networks. Experimental results demonstrate that LQ-GCN achieves up to a 33% improvement in Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) and a 26.3% improvement in Recall compared to baseline models across multiple real-world benchmark datasets.
