A Production-Style NetworKit 11.2.1 Coding Tutorial for Large-Scale Graph Analytics, Communities, Cores, and Sparsification

In this tutorial, we implement a production-grade, large-scale graph analytics pipeline in NetworKit, focusing on speed, memory efficiency, and version-safe APIs in NetworKit 11.2.1. We generate a large-scale free network, extract the largest connected component, and then compute structural backbone signals via k-core decomposition and centrality ranking. We also detect communities with PLM and quantify
