We propose a clustering method that involves chaining four known techniques into a pipeline yielding an algorithm with stronger recovery guarantees than any of the four components separately.

Graph clustering problems typically aim to partition the graph nodes such that two nodes belong to the same partition set if and only if they are similar.

Multiple algorithms have been proposed to solve the optimization problem: subgradient descent by Hocking et al., ADMM and ADA by Chi and Lange, stochastic incremental algorithm by Panahi et al. and semismooth Newton-CG augmented Lagrangian method by Sun et al. All algorithms yield approximate solutions, even though an exact solution is demanded to determine the correct cluster assignment.

When the communities are allowed to overlap, often a pure nodes assumption is made, i. e. each community has a node that belongs exclusively to that community.

Sum-of-norms clustering is a method for assigning $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $K$ clusters, $1\le K\le n$, using convex optimization.
