Dealing with relational learning generally relies on tools modeling relational data. An undirected graph can represent these data with vertices depicting entities and edges describing the relationships between the entities. These relationships can be well represented by multiple undirected graphs over the same set of vertices with edges arising from different graphs catching heterogeneous relations. The vertices of those networks are often structured in unknown clusters with varying properties of connectivity. These multiple graphs can be structured as a three-way tensor, where each slice of tensor depicts a graph which is represented by a count data matrix. To extract relevant clusters, we propose an appropriate model-based co-clustering capable of dealing with multiple graphs. The proposed model can be seen as a suitable tensor extension of mixture models of graphs, while the obtained co-clustering can be treated as a consensus clustering of nodes from multiple graphs. Applications on real datasets and comparisons with multi-view clustering and tensor decomposition methods show the interest of our contribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
