Compactness and Consistency: A Conjoint Framework for Deep Graph Clustering

To address these issues, we propose a conjoint framework CoCo, which captures compactness and consistency in the learned node representations for deep graph clustering.

Key points

  • Graph clustering is a fundamental task in data analysis, aiming at grouping nodes with similar characteristics in the graph into clusters.
  • This problem has been widely explored using graph neural networks (GNNs) due to their ability to leverage node attributes and graph topology for effective cluster assignments.
  • Technically, our CoCo leverages graph convolutional filters to learn robust node representations from both local and global views, and then encodes them into low-rank compact embeddings, thus effectively removing the redundancy and noise as well as uncovering the intrinsic underlying structure.
  • To further enrich the node semantics, we develop a consistency learning strategy based on compact embeddings to facilitate knowledge transfer from the two perspectives.
