Abstract

In this paper we propose a graph stream clustering algorithm with a unied similarity measure on both structural and attribute properties of vertices, with each attribute being treated as a vertex. Unlike others, our approach does not require an input parameter for the number of clusters, instead, it dynamically creates new sketch-based clusters and periodically merges existing similar clusters. Experiments on two publicly available datasets reveal the advantages of our approach in detecting vertex clusters in the graph stream. We provide a detailed investigation into how parameters affect the algorithm performance. We also provide a quantitative evaluation and comparison with a well-known offline community detection algorithm which shows that our streaming algorithm can achieve comparable or better average cluster purity.
