1) Open Gephi Lite and a network of your choice. I will use the "divided they blog" network because it is simple.

2) In the side bar on the left, click on Metrics > Louvain edges ambiguity (that's the last item).

Our case is the ambiguity of categories obtained by community detection algorithms in networks.

We offer an implementation of our ambiguity visualization method in Gephi Lite, which you can try online right now!

Congrats to @dariorodighiero.bsky.social for beating me to the best short paper award at #CHR2025 ! And to Carlo and Davide, although I don't know them personally. I only got an honorable mention, which I am still very proud of 😂
