In this paper, we introduce simple graph clustering methods based on minimum cuts within the graph. The clustering methods are general enough to apply to any kind of graph but are well suited for graphs where the link structure implies a notion of reference, similarity, or endorsement, such as web and citation graphs. We show that the quality of the produced clusters is bounded by strong minimum cut and expansion criteria. We also develop a framework for hierarchical clustering and present applications to real-world data. We conclude that the clustering algorithms satisfy strong theoretical criteria and perform well in practice.
