Spectral clustering is a broad class of clustering procedures in which an intractable combinatorial optimization formulation of clustering is "relaxed" into a tractable eigenvector problem, and in which the relaxed solution is subsequently…
Spectral clustering is a powerful method for finding structure in a dataset through the eigenvectors of a similarity matrix. It often outperforms traditional clustering algorithms such as $k$-means when the structure of the individual…
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…
This article proposes a first analysis of kernel spectral clustering methods in the regime where the dimension $p$ of the data vectors to be clustered and their number $n$ grow large at the same rate. We demonstrate, under a $k$-class…

A basic fact in spectral graph theory is that the number of connected components in an undirected graph is equal to the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero in the Laplacian matrix of the graph. In particular, the graph is disconnected if…
Spectral clustering uses a graph Laplacian spectral embedding to enhance the cluster structure of some data sets. When the embedding is one dimensional, it can be used to sort the items (spectral ordering). A number of empirical results…
Clustering is concerned with coherently grouping observations without any explicit concept of true groupings. Spectral graph clustering - clustering the vertices of a graph based on their spectral embedding - is commonly approached via…
Spectral clustering (SC) is a popular clustering technique to find strongly connected communities on a graph. SC can be used in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to implement pooling operations that aggregate nodes belonging to the same cluster.…

Spectral clustering is sensitive to how graphs are constructed from data particularly when proximal and imbalanced clusters are present. We show that Ratio-Cut (RCut) or normalized cut (NCut) objectives are not tailored to imbalanced data…
We introduce an abstract framework for the study of clustering in metric graphs: after suitably metrising the space of graph partitions, we restrict Laplacians to the clusters thus arising and use their spectral gaps to define several…
