Deep Multi-view Graph Clustering via Attribute-aware Bidirectional Structural Refinement and Pseudo-label Guided Multi-level Fusion

Deep multi-view graph clustering (DMGC) typically leverages graph neural networks for representation learning, but most existing methods excessively depend on local and static graph structures and only utilize simplistic cross-view fusion strategies. To this end, this paper proposes A ttribute-aware Bidirectional Structural Refinement (ABSR) and P seudo-label Guided Multi-level Fusion (PGMF) for DM GC , termed APGC . Specifically, ABSR selectively strengthens high-quality connections and suppresses semantically conflicting relationships, achieving bidirectional refinement of the graph structure based on attribute similarity. It incorporates global attribute semantics into the graph structure, thereby promoting the homophilic connections for discriminative graph representation learning. Guided by reliable pseudo-labels, PGMF achieves adaptive weighted fusion at both the node-level and the view-level, effectively balancing the differentiated contributions of multi-view information. Experiments on six homophilic and heterophilic datasets demonstrate the superior clustering performance of the proposed APGC method.
