In light of the exponential growth in information volume, the significance of graph data has intensified. Graph clustering plays a pivotal role in graph data processing by jointly modeling the graph structure and node attributes. Notably, the practical significance of multi-view graph clustering is heightened due to the presence of diverse relationships within real-world graph data. Nonetheless, prevailing graph clustering techniques, predominantly grounded in deep learning neural networks, face challenges in effectively handling multi-view graph data. These challenges include the incapability to concurrently explore the relationships between multiple view structures and node attributes, as well as difficulties in processing multi-view graph data with varying features. To tackle these issues, this research proposes a straightforward yet effective multi-view graph clustering approach known as SLMGC. This approach uses graph filtering to filter noise, reduces computational complexity by extracting samples based on node importance, enhances clustering representations through graph contrastive regularization, and achieves the final clustering outcomes using a self-training clustering algorithm. Notably, unlike neural network algorithms, this approach avoids the need for intricate parameter settings. Comprehensive experiments validate the supremacy of the SLMGC approach in multi-view graph clustering endeavors when contrasted with prevailing deep neural network techniques.
鉴于信息总量的指数级增长,图数据的重要性也日益凸显。图聚类通过联合建模图结构和节点属性,在图数据处理中发挥着关键作用。值得注意的是,由于现实世界图数据中存在多种关系,多视图图聚类具有实际意义。然而,现有的图聚类技术主要基于深度学习神经网络,在有效处理多视图图数据方面面临挑战。这些挑战包括无法同时探索多个视图结构和节点属性之间的关系,以及处理具有不同特征的多视图图数据的困难。为了解决这些问题,本研究提出了一种简单而有效的多视图图聚类方法,称为 SLMGC。该方法使用图滤波来过滤噪声,根据节点重要性提取样本以降低计算复杂度,通过图对比正则化增强聚类表示,并使用自训练聚类算法得到最终的聚类结果。值得注意的是,与神经网络算法不同,该方法避免了复杂的参数设置。综合实验验证了 SLMGC 方法在多视图图聚类中的优越性,与现有的深度神经网络技术相比。
