Abstract: Graph clustering is a central topic in unsupervised learning with a multitude of practical applications. In recent years, multi-view graph clustering has gained a lot of attention for its applicability to real-world instances where one often has access to multiple data sources. In this paper we formalize a new family of models, called *multi-view stochastic block models* that capture this setting. For this model, we first study efficient algorithms that naively work on the union of multiple graphs. Then, we introduce a new efficient algorithm that provably outperforms previous approaches by analyzing the structure of each graph separately. Finally, we complement our results with an information-theoretic lower bound studying the limits of what can be done in this model.
