The document presents a new approach called FocusCO for focused clustering and outlier detection in large attributed graphs. FocusCO infers the most relevant attributes (called the "focus") based on examples provided by the user, and uses this focus to extract dense clusters that are coherent in the focused attributes. It can also detect outliers that deviate from the inferred focus. The experiments on synthetic and real-world graphs show that FocusCO outperforms other methods in identifying clusters aligned with different user-specified focuses and detecting outliers corresponding to each focus.
