  1. Comparison of our method to simple hill-climbing approach. (i) accuracy of the hill-climbing approach used over the complete network; (ii) accuracy of the hill-climbing approach after fixing the weakly connected nodes using our algorithm; (iii) accuracy of our combined pipeline using the genetic algorithm.
