Abstract
Deep graph clustering is a fundamental task that partitions graph nodes into distinct clusters based on their similarity features, without using human-annotated data. Graph representation learning methods are widely used for deep graph clustering, as they can learn node embeddings that capture the similarity features within each cluster. However, the existing methods have not clearly defined what kind of similarity they capture, and how it varies across different node categories. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for deep graph clustering that addresses these issues. We use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the attribute vectors and structure of graph data, and explore the sources of similarity captured by graph representation learning. We also investigate how the attribute and structure features of graph data affect the clustering performance, and identify the specific challenges faced by deep graph clustering tasks. Our approach provides insights and guidance for the future development of deep graph clustering.
