Recently there is a growing focus on graph data, and multi-view graph clustering has become a popular area of research interest. Most of the existing methods are only applicable to homophilous graphs, yet the extensive real-world graph data can hardly fulfill the homophily assumption, where the connected nodes tend to belong to the same class. Several studies have pointed out that the poor performance on heterophilous graphs is actually due to the fact that conventional graph neural networks (GNNs), which are essentially low-pass filters, discard information other than the low-frequency information on the graph. Nevertheless, on certain graphs, particularly heterophilous ones, neglecting high-frequency information and focusing solely on low-frequency information impedes the learning of node representations. To break this limitation, our motivation is to perform graph filtering that is closely related to the homophily degree of the given graph, with the aim of fully leveraging both low-frequency and high-frequency signals to learn distinguishable node embedding. In this work, we propose Adaptive Hybrid Graph Filter for Multi-View Graph Clustering (AHGFC). Specifically, a graph joint process and graph joint aggregation matrix are first designed by using the intrinsic node features and adjacency relationship, which makes the low and high-frequency signals on the graph more distinguishable. Then we design an adaptive hybrid graph filter that is related to the homophily degree, which learns the node embedding based on the graph joint aggregation matrix. After that, the node embedding of each view is weighted and fused into a consensus embedding for the downstream task. Experimental results show that our proposed model performs well on six datasets containing homophilous and heterophilous graphs.

Dual Label-Guided Graph Refinement for Multi-View Graph Clustering
With the increase of multi-view graph data, multi-view graph clustering (MVGC) that can discover the hidden clusters without label supervision has attracted growing attention from researchers. Existing MVGC methods are often sensitive to the given graphs, especially influenced by the low quality graphs, i.e., they tend to be limited by the homophily assumption. However, the widespread real-world data hardly satisfy the homophily assumption. This gap limits the performance of existing MVGC methods on low homophilous graphs. To mitigate this limitation, our motivation is to extract high-level view-common information which is used to refine each view's graph, and reduce the influence of non-homophilous edges. To this end, we propose dual label-guided graph refinement for multi-view graph clustering (DuaLGR), to alleviate the vulnerability in facing low homophilous graphs. Specifically, DuaLGR consists of two modules named dual label-guided graph refinement module and graph encoder module. The first module is designed to extract the soft label from node features and graphs, and then learn a refinement matrix. In cooperation with the pseudo label from the second module, these graphs are refined and aggregated adaptively with different orders. Subsequently, a consensus graph can be generated in the guidance of the pseudo label. Finally, the graph encoder module encodes the consensus graph along with node features to produce the high-level pseudo label for iteratively clustering. The experimental results show the superior performance on coping with low homophilous graph data. The source code for DuaLGR is available at https://github.com/YwL-zhufeng/DuaLGR.

In recent years, incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC), which studies the challenging multi-view clustering problem on missing views, has received growing research interests. Previous IMVC methods suffer from the following issues: (1) the inaccurate imputation for missing data, which leads to suboptimal clustering performance, and (2) most existing IMVC models merely consider the explicit presence of graph structure in data, ignoring the fact that latent graphs of different views also provide valuable information for the clustering task. To overcome such challenges, we present a novel method, termed Adaptive feature imputation with latent graph for incomplete multi-view clustering (AGDIMC). Specifically, it captures the embbedded features of each view by incorporating the view-specific deep encoders. Then, we construct partial latent graphs on complete data, which can consolidate the intrinsic relationships within each view while preserving the topological information. With the aim of estimating the missing sample based on the available information, we utilize an adaptive imputation layer to impute the embedded feature of missing data by using cross-view soft cluster assignments and global cluster centroids. As the imputation progresses, the portion of complete data increases, contributing to enhancing the discriminative information contained in global pseudo-labels. Meanwhile, to alleviate the negative impact caused by inferior impute samples and the discrepancy of cluster structures, we further design an adaptive imputation strategy based on the global pseudo-label and the local cluster assignment. Experimental results on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method over existing approaches.more » « less

Graph neural networks (GNNs) rely on the assumption of graph homophily, which, however, does not hold in some real-world scenarios. Graph heterophily compromises them by smoothing node representations and degrading their discrimination capabilities. To address this limitation, we propose H^2GNN, which implements Homophilic and Heterophilic feature aggregations to advance GNNs in graphs with homophily or heterophily. H^2GNN proceeds by combining local feature separation and adaptive message aggregation, where each node separates local features into similar and dissimilar feature vectors, and aggregates similarities and dissimilarities from neighbors based on connection property. This allows both similar and dissimilar features for each node to be effectively preserved and propagated, and thus mitigates the impact of heterophily on graph learning process. As dual feature aggregations introduce extra model complexity, we also offer a simplified implementation of H^2GNN to reduce training time. Extensive experiments on seven benchmark datasets have demonstrated that H^2GNN can significantly improve node classification performance in graphs with different homophily ratios, which outperforms state-of-the-art GNN models.more » « less

As one of the most important research topics in the unsupervised learning field, Multi-View Clustering (MVC) has been widely studied in the past decade and numerous MVC methods have been developed. Among these methods, the recently emerged Graph Neural Networks (GNN) shine a light on modeling both topological structure and node attributes in the form of graphs, to guide unified embedding learning and clustering. However, the effectiveness of existing GNN-based MVC methods is still limited due to the insufficient consideration in utilizing the self-supervised information and graph information, which can be reflected from the following two aspects: 1) most of these models merely use the self-supervised information to guide the feature learning and fail to realize that such information can be also applied in graph learning and sample weighting; 2) the usage of graph information is generally limited to the feature aggregation in these models, yet it also provides valuable evidence in detecting noisy samples. To this end, in this paper we propose Self-Supervised Graph Attention Networks for Deep Weighted Multi-View Clustering (SGDMC), which promotes the performance of GNN-based deep MVC models by making full use of the self-supervised information and graph information. Specifically, a novel attention-allocating approach that considers both the similarity of node attributes and the self-supervised information is developed to comprehensively evaluate the relevance among different nodes. Meanwhile, to alleviate the negative impact caused by noisy samples and the discrepancy of cluster structures, we further design a sample-weighting strategy based on the attention graph as well as the discrepancy between the global pseudo-labels and the local cluster assignment. Experimental results on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method over existing approaches.more » « less

In recent years, plentiful evidence illustrates that Graph Con- volutional Networks (GCNs) achieve extraordinary accom- plishments on the node classification task. However, GCNs may be vulnerable to adversarial attacks on label-scarce dy- namic graphs. Many existing works aim to strengthen the ro- bustness of GCNs; for instance, adversarial training is used to shield GCNs against malicious perturbations. However, these works fail on dynamic graphs for which label scarcity is a pressing issue. To overcome label scarcity, self-training attempts to iteratively assign pseudo-labels to highly confi- dent unlabeled nodes but such attempts may suffer serious degradation under dynamic graph perturbations. In this paper, we generalize noisy supervision as a kind of self-supervised learning method and then propose a novel Bayesian self- supervision model, namely GraphSS, to address the issue. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GraphSS can not only affirmatively alert the perturbations on dynamic graphs but also effectively recover the prediction of a node classifier when the graph is under such perturbations. These two advan- tages prove to be generalized over three classic GCNs across five public graph datasets.more » « less
