Overview

We propose a novel contrastive deep graph clustering method dubbed Hard Sample Aware Network (HSAN) by introducing a comprehensive similarity measure criterion and a general dynamic sample weighing strategy. Concretely, in our algorithm, the similarities between samples are calculated by considering both the attribute embeddings and the structure embeddings, better-revealing sample relationships and assisting hardness measurement. Moreover, under the guidance of the carefully collected high-confidence clustering information, our proposed weight modulating function will first recognize the positive and negative samples and then dynamically up-weight the hard sample pairs while down-weighting the easy ones. In this way, our method can mine not only the hard negative samples but also the hard positive sample.

Requirements

The proposed HSAN is implemented with python 3.7 on a NVIDIA 3090 GPU.

Python package information is summarized in requirements.txt:

torch==1.7.1
tqdm==4.59.0
numpy==1.19.2
munkres==1.1.4
scikit_learn==1.2.0

Quick Start

Step1: use the cora.zip file or download other datasets from Awesome Deep Graph Clustering/Benchmark Datasets
Step2: unzip the dataset into the ./dataset folder
Step3: run
```
python train.py
```
the clustering results will be recorded in the ./results.csv file
