Dual Information Enhanced Multi-view Attributed Graph Clustering

원문 초록

Multi-view attributed graph clustering is an important approach to partition multi-view data based on the attribute feature and adjacent matrices from different views. Some attempts have been made in utilizing Graph Neural Network (GNN), which have achieved promising clustering performance. Despite this, few of them pay attention to the inherent specific information embedded in multiple views. Meanwhile, they are incapable of recovering the latent high-level representation from the low-level ones, greatly limiting the downstream clustering performance. To fill these gaps, a novel Dual Information enhanced multi-view Attributed Graph Clustering (DIAGC) method is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the proposed method introduces the Specific Information Reconstruction (SIR) module to disentangle the explorations of the consensus and specific information from multiple views, which enables GCN to capture the more essential low-level representations. Besides, the Mutual Information Maximization (MIM) module maximizes the agreement between the latent high-level representation and low-level ones, and enables the high-level representation to satisfy the desired clustering structure with the help of the Self-supervised Clustering (SC) module. Extensive experiments on several real-world benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DIAGC method compared with the state-of-the-art baselines.
