Robust Graph Clustering Network for Multiple Missing Data

The paper introduces the Robust Graph Clustering Network for Multiple Missing Data (RGCN), a method designed to cluster graphs with simultaneous missing node attributes and structural links. RGCN employs a view‑decoupled dual‑branch imputation to reduce cross‑view interference, a multi‑hyperspherical mixture prior to improve cluster compactness and separability on a directional latent manifold, and a boundary‑aware contrastive enhancement objective to counteract cluster blurring caused by imputation bias. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that RGCN consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines across various missing data patterns.

Scalable Varied-Density Clustering via Graph Propagation

arXiv:2508. 02989v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a novel perspective on varied-density clustering for high-dimensional data by framing it as a label propagation process in neighborhood graphs that adapt to local density variations.

Towards Robust and Scalable Density-based Clustering via Graph Propagation

The paper introduces CluProp, a framework that treats varied‑density clustering in high‑dimensional spaces as a label propagation process over neighborhood graphs. By combining density‑based ideas with graph connectivity, it offers a deterministic propagation strategy that reduces parameter sensitivity and scales efficiently to millions of points. CluProp is agnostic to distance metrics and consistently outperforms existing baselines in accuracy while processing large datasets in minutes.

Provable Guarantees for Spectral Structured Prediction

The paper presents provable guarantees for a spectral method that recovers binary node labels on signed graphs with edge‑flip noise. It provides graph‑structure‑agnostic bounds on approximate inference accuracy and maximum angle deviation, using matrix concentration and eigenvector perturbation techniques. The results connect to the Cheeger constant and are validated with synthetic experiments, marking the first theoretical analysis of this spectral approach.

Graph Learning with Spectral Connectivity Priors for Scarce Data

The paper introduces Spectral Connectivity-Regularized Graph Learning (SCoGL), a method for learning sparse graphs from limited data by incorporating Laplacian spectral priors that promote global connectivity. SCoGL extends the graphical lasso objective with a connectivity prior derived from Laplacian eigenvalues and uses projected gradient descent with Armijo backtracking for optimization. Experiments demonstrate that SCoGL improves graph recovery and enhances downstream tasks such as graph signal denoising when observations are scarce.
