Spectral clustering is a novel clustering method which can detect complex shapes of data clusters. However, it requires the eigen decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix, which is proportion to $O(n^3)$ and thus is not suitable for…

Spectral clustering has found extensive use in many areas. Most traditional spectral clustering algorithms work in three separate steps: similarity graph construction; continuous labels learning; discretizing the learned labels by k-means…

While clustering is ubiquitously used across science and industry, uncertainty in cluster assignments is rarely quantified with rigorous guarantees. We propose a novel conformal inference framework for clustering that returns confidence…

Fuzzy clustering, which allows an article to belong to multiple clusters with soft membership degrees, plays a vital role in analyzing publication data. This problem can be formulated as a constrained optimization model, where the goal is…

Spectral clustering is one of the most effective clustering approaches that capture hidden cluster structures in the data. However, it does not scale well to large-scale problems due to its quadratic complexity in constructing similarity…

This work studies the classical spectral clustering algorithm which embeds the vertices of some graph $G=(V_G, E_G)$ into $\mathbb{R}^k$ using $k$ eigenvectors of some matrix of $G$, and applies $k$-means to partition $V_G$ into $k$…

Spectral clustering approaches have led to well-accepted algorithms for finding accurate clusters in a given dataset. However, their application to large-scale datasets has been hindered by computational complexity of eigenvalue…

This letter presents a new spectral-clustering-based approach to the subspace clustering problem. Underpinning the proposed method is a convex program for optimal direction search, which for each data point d finds an optimal direction in…

Spectral Clustering (SC) is one of the most widely used methods for data clustering. It first finds a low-dimensonal embedding $U$ of data by computing the eigenvectors of the normalized Laplacian matrix, and then performs k-means on…

Fuzzy clustering is a famous unsupervised learning method used to collecting similar data elements within cluster according to some similarity measurement. But, clustering algorithms suffer from some drawbacks. Among the main weakness…

Clustering is one of the widely used data mining techniques for medical diagnosis. Clustering can be considered as the most important unsupervised learning technique. Most of the clustering methods group data based on distance and few…

Spectral clustering has become a popular technique due to its high performance in many contexts. It comprises three main steps: create a similarity graph between N objects to cluster, compute the first k eigenvectors of its Laplacian matrix…

Spectral clustering is a widely studied problem, yet its complexity is prohibitive for dynamic graphs of even modest size. We claim that it is possible to reuse information of past cluster assignments to expedite computation. Our approach…

Clustering in image analysis is a central technique that allows to classify elements of an image. We describe a simple clustering technique that uses the method of similarity matrices. We expand upon recent results in spectral analysis for…

Clustering data objects into homogeneous groups is one of the most important tasks in data mining. Spectral clustering is arguably one of the most important algorithms for clustering, as it is appealing for its theoretical soundness and is…

Fuzzy clustering methods identify naturally occurring clusters in a dataset, where the extent to which different clusters are overlapped can differ. Most methods have a parameter to fix the level of fuzziness. However, the appropriate level…

Spectral clustering is a popular clustering method. It first maps data into the spectral embedding space and then uses Kmeans to find clusters. However, the two decoupled steps prohibit joint optimization for the optimal solution. In…

We propose a novel method for building fuzzy clusters of large data sets, using a smoothing numerical approach. The usual sum-of-squares criterion is relaxed so the search for good fuzzy partitions is made on a continuous space, rather than…

Spectral clustering is one of the most popular clustering methods for finding clusters in a graph, which has found many applications in data mining. However, the input graph in those applications may have many missing edges due to error in…

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…
