Outline

This paper discusses deep graph clustering (DGC), which unsupervisedly classifies nodes in attribute graphs into multiple clusters. To address the challenges of real-world attribute graphs, which are often large and often lack attributes, we propose a novel DGC method, "Complementary Multi-View Neighbor Differentiation (CMV-ND)." CMV-ND preprocesses graph structural information into multiple perspectives in a complete and non-redundant manner. Specifically, it fully expands the local structure of the graph through recursive neighbor search and removes redundancy between neighbors with different hop distances through a neighbor differentiation strategy. Then, it constructs K+1 complementary perspectives from differential hop representations and target node features, and applies existing multi-view clustering or DGC methods. Experimental results on six widely used graph datasets demonstrate that CMV-ND significantly improves the performance of various methods.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present an effective DGC method for real-world graphs that suffer from large-scale and missing attribute problems.
It efficiently and fully utilizes graph structure information through recursive neighbor search and neighbor differentiation strategies.
It provides improved performance through compatibility with various existing DGC methods.
We verify the superiority of the proposed method through experimental results.
Limitations:
There is a lack of analysis of the computational complexity of the proposed method.
Generalization performance for various types of graph structures has not been sufficiently verified.
Sensitivity analysis is required for specific parameter settings.
There is a potential for bias towards certain types of attribute omission patterns.
