Multilayer network data clustering

Network data appears in very diverse applications, like biological, social, or sensor networks. Clustering of network nodes into categories or communities has thus become a very common task in machine learning and data mining. Network data comes with some information about the network edges. In some cases, this network information can even be given with multiple views or multiple layers, each one representing a different type of relationship between the network nodes. Increasingly often, network nodes also carry a feature vector. We propose to extend the node clustering problem, that commonly considers only the network information, to a problem where both the network information and the node features are considered together for learning a clustering-friendly representation of the feature space.
