TL;DR: Unsupervised learning on multi-view graphs by approximating a graph fusion with desired spectral properties.
Abstract: Multi-view graphs capture diverse relations among entities through graph views and individual characteristics via attribute views, presenting a challenge for unsupervised learning due to potential conflicts across views. Existing approaches often lack efficacy, efficiency, and the ability to explicitly control view contributions. In this paper, we present SMGF, a novel graph fusion framework that approximates underlying entity connections by aggregating view-specific graph structures. We construct a multi-view Laplacian $\mathcal{L}$ from normalized Laplacian matrices representing all views. View weights are determined through the optimization of two objectives derived from $\mathcal{L}$'s spectral properties, which exploit the eigenvalue gap and enhance connectivity. Comprehensive experiments on six real-world datasets showcase the superior performance of SMGF in node embedding and clustering results, along with its efficiency and scalability. SMGF offers a promising solution for unsupervised learning on multi-view graphs, addressing the challenge of interpretably combining diverse and potentially conflicting information from both graph and attribute views.
