• Authors: Zihao Li, Dongqi Fu, Hengyu Liu, Jingrui He,
• Abstract summary: This work focuses on graph local clustering, which has broad applications beyond graphs because of the internal connectivities within various modalities. We extend the non-approximating Andersen-Chung-Lang ("ACL") algorithm beyond discrete graphs and generalize its quadratic optimality to a wider range of graphs. We theoretically prove that, under two mild conditions, both algorithms can identify a quadratically optimal local cluster in terms of conductance with at least 1/2 probability.

• Abstract: Local clustering aims to find a compact cluster near the given starting instances. This work focuses on graph local clustering, which has broad applications beyond graphs because of the internal connectivities within various modalities. While most existing studies on local graph clustering adopt the discrete graph setting (i.e., unweighted graphs without self-loops), real-world graphs can be more complex. In this paper, we extend the non-approximating Andersen-Chung-Lang ("ACL") algorithm beyond discrete graphs and generalize its quadratic optimality to a wider range of graphs, including weighted, directed, and self-looped graphs and hypergraphs. Specifically, leveraging PageRank, we propose two algorithms: GeneralACL for graphs and HyperACL for hypergraphs. We theoretically prove that, under two mild conditions, both algorithms can identify a quadratically optimal local cluster in terms of conductance with at least 1/2 probability. On the property of hypergraphs, we address a fundamental gap in the literature by defining conductance for hypergraphs from the perspective of hypergraph random walks. Additionally, we provide experiments to validate our theoretical findings.

In this paper, we first characterize a novel one-step bipartite graph cut criterion with normalized constraints, and theoretically prove its equivalence to a trace problem. We extend this cut criterion to a scalable subspace clustering approach, where adaptive anchor learning, bipartite graph learning, and one-step normalized bipartite graph partitioning are simultaneously modeled.
