We formulate object segmentation in video as a graph partitioning problem in space and time, in which nodes are pixels and their relations form local neighborhoods. We claim that the strongest cluster in this pixel-level graph represents…
Approximate Spectral Clustering (ASC) is a popular and successful heuristic for partitioning the nodes of a graph $G$ into clusters for which the ratio of outside connections compared to the volume (sum of degrees) is small. ASC consists of…
Coresets have become an invaluable tool for solving $k$-means and kernel $k$-means clustering problems on large datasets with small numbers of clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering works well on sparse graphs and has recently…
We review clustering as an analysis tool and the underlying concepts from an introductory perspective. What is clustering and how can clusterings be realised programmatically? How can data be represented and prepared for a clustering task?…
Spectral clustering methods are widely used for detecting clusters in networks for community detection, while a small change on the graph Laplacian matrix could bring a dramatic improvement. In this paper, we propose a dual regularized…

This paper studies clustering algorithms for dynamically evolving graphs $\{G_t\}$, in which new edges (and potential new vertices) are added into a graph, and the underlying cluster structure of the graph can gradually change. The paper…
Following Hartigan, a cluster is defined as a connected component of the t-level set of the underlying density, i.e., the set of points for which the density is greater than t. A clustering algorithm which combines a density estimate with…
In this paper we present a new dynamical systems algorithm for clustering in hyperspectral images. The main idea of the algorithm is that data points are \`pushed\' in the direction of increasing density and groups of pixels that end up in…
Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…
In the graph clustering problem with a planted solution, the input is a graph on $n$ vertices partitioned into $k$ clusters, and the task is to infer the clusters from graph structure. A standard assumption is that clusters induce…
Neighborhood graphs are a critical but often fragile step in spectral clustering of text embeddings. On realistic text datasets, standard $k$-NN graphs can contain many disconnected components at practical sparsity levels (small $k$),…

Spectral clustering is a standard approach to label nodes on a graph by studying the (largest or lowest) eigenvalues of a symmetric real matrix such as e.g. the adjacency or the Laplacian. Recently, it has been argued that using instead a…
