Many real-world systems can be represented as graphs where the different entities are presented by nodes and their interactions by edges. An important task in studying large datasets is graph clustering. While there has been a lot of work on graph clustering using the connectivity between the nodes, many real-world networks also have node attributes. Clustering attributed graphs requires joint modeling of graph structure and node attributes. Recent work has focused on graph convolutional networks and graph convolutional filters to combine structural and content information. However, these methods are mostly limited to lowpass filtering and do not explicitly optimize the filters for the clustering task. In this paper, we introduce a graph signal processing based approach, where we design polynomial graph filters optimized for clustering. The proposed approach is formulated as a two-step iterative optimization problem where graph filters that are interpretable and optimal for the given data are learned while maximizing the separation between different clusters. The proposed approach is evaluated on attributed networks and compared to the state-of-the-art graph convolutional network approaches.
