We introduce the s-Plex Cluster Vertex Deletion problem. Like the Cluster Vertex Deletion problem, it is NP-hard and motivated by graph-based data clustering. While the task in Cluster Vertex Deletion is to delete vertices from a graph so…

We propose a node clustering method for time-varying graphs based on the assumption that the cluster labels are changed smoothly over time. Clustering is one of the fundamental tasks in many science and engineering fields including signal…

In the correlation clustering problem for complete signed graphs, the input is a complete signed graph with edges weighted as $+1$ (denote recommendation to put this pair in the same cluster) or $-1$ (recommending to put this pair of…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, the Cluster Editing problem asks whether we can transform $G$ into a union of vertex-disjoint cliques by at most $k$ modifications (edge deletions or insertions). In this paper, we study the…

Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…

We consider a generalized version of the correlation clustering problem, defined as follows. Given a complete graph $G$ whose edges are labeled with $+$ or $-$, we wish to partition the graph into clusters while trying to avoid errors: $+$…

In the family of clustering problems, we are given a set of objects (vertices of the graph), together with some observed pairwise similarities (edges). The goal is to identify clusters of similar objects by slightly modifying the graph to…

Multi-layer graphs consist of several graphs (layers) over the same vertex set. They are motivated by real-world problems where entities (vertices) are associated via multiple types of relationships (edges in different layers). We chart the…

Observational data usually comes with a multimodal nature, which means that it can be naturally represented by a multi-layer graph whose layers share the same set of vertices (users) with different edges (pairwise relationships). In this…
