Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Many real-world datasets can be represented as attributed graphs that contain vertices, each of which is associated with a set of attribute values. Discovering clusters, or communities, which are structural patterns in these graphs, are one of the most important tasks in graph analysis. To perform the task, a number of algorithms have been proposed. Some of them detect clusters of particular topological properties, whereas some others discover them mainly based on attribute information. Also, most of the algorithms discover disjoint clusters only. As a result, they may not be able to detect more meaningful clusters hidden in the attributed graph. To do so more effectively, we propose an algorithm, called FSPGA, to discover fuzzy structural patterns for graph analytics. FSPGA performs the task of cluster discovery as a fuzzy-constrained optimization problem, which takes into consideration both the graph topology and attribute values. FSPGA has been tested with both synthetic and real-world graph datasets and is found to be efficient and effective at detecting clusters in attributed graphs. FSPGA is a promising fuzzy algorithm for structural pattern detection in attributed graphs.
