Cut-based directed graph (digraph) clustering often focuses on finding dense within-cluster or sparse between-cluster connections, similar to cut-based undirected graph clustering methods. In contrast, for flow-based clusterings the edges…

We propose an algorithm that builds and maintains clusters over a network subject to mobility. This algorithm is fully decentralized and makes all the different clusters grow concurrently. The algorithm uses circulating tokens that collect…

We consider the distributed and parallel construction of low-diameter decompositions with strong diameter for (weighted) graphs and (weighted) graphs that can be separated through $k \in \tilde{O}(1)$ shortest paths. This class of graphs…

We study large-scale, distributed graph clustering. Given an undirected graph, our objective is to partition the nodes into disjoint sets called clusters. A cluster should contain many internal edges while being sparsely connected to other…

Semi-supervised clustering is the task of clustering data points into clusters where only a fraction of the points are labelled. The true number of clusters in the data is often unknown and most models require this parameter as an input.…

Algorithms for node clustering typically focus on finding homophilous structure in graphs. That is, they find sets of similar nodes with many edges within, rather than across, the clusters. However, graphs often also exhibit heterophilous…

For a pair of positive parameters $D,\chi$, a partition ${\cal P}$ of the vertex set $V$ of an $n$-vertex graph $G = (V,E)$ into disjoint clusters of diameter at most $D$ each is called a $(D,\chi)$ network decomposition, if the supergraph…
