Abstract

Interactions between (social) entities can be frequently represented by an attributed graph, and node clustering in such graphs has received much attention lately. Multiple efforts have successfully applied Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), though with some limits on accuracy as GCNs have been shown to suffer from over-smoothing issues. Though other methods (particularly those based on Laplacian Smoothing) have reported better accuracy, a fundamental limitation of all the work is a lack of scalability. This paper addresses this open problem by relating the Laplacian smoothing to the Generalized PageRank, and applying a random-walk based algorithm as a scalable graph filter. This forms the basis for our scalable deep clustering algorithm, RwSL. Using 6 real-world datasets and 6 clustering metrics, we show that RwSL achieved improved results over several recent baselines. Most notably, by demonstrating execution of RwSL on a graph with 1.8 billion edges using only a single GPU. We show that RwSL can continue to scale, unlike other existing deep clustering frameworks.
