Download or read book Constraint Based Framework for Optimal K clustering written by Leonid Shamis and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Davidson et al. [1], the authors describe a SAT-based framework for fast constrained clustering. Davidson's framework produces optimal solutions to constrained clustering problems by encoding both the objective function and user-defined constraints as propositional formulae, then using multiple calls to a SAT solver to produce a clustering. By restricting their algorithm to clustering for k = 2, they are able to produce optimal clusterings in polynomial time. This thesis expands upon this earlier work by instead casting the objective function and user-defined constraints as a graph-coloring problems, then using repeated calls to a graph-coloring solver to produce the final clustering. While maintaining global optimality, our framework handles arbitrary numbers of clusters, and when k = 2 matches the polynomial time bound of Davidson et al. [1]. Our new framework produces optimal solutions to many objective functions, including several common objectives, such as classical, single-linkage, and [kappa]-nearest-neighbor clustering. Our framework is flexible enough that users can easily define application-specific objectives or modify existing objectives while still maintaining all the aforementioned guarantees. We prove the framework's correctness, analyze its performance (both asymptotically and practically), and describe how it may be used to optimize many common objectives while supporting user-specified constraints. We conclude by experimentally showing its scalability to user-provided constraints.

Download or read book Constrained Clustering written by Sugato Basu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-08-18 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the initial work on constrained clustering, there have been numerous advances in methods, applications, and our understanding of the theoretical properties of constraints and constrained clustering algorithms. Bringing these developments together, Constrained Clustering: Advances in Algorithms, Theory, and Applications presents an extensive collection of the latest innovations in clustering data analysis methods that use background knowledge encoded as constraints. Algorithms The first five chapters of this volume investigate advances in the use of instance-level, pairwise constraints for partitional and hierarchical clustering. The book then explores other types of constraints for clustering, including cluster size balancing, minimum cluster size,and cluster-level relational constraints. Theory It also describes variations of the traditional clustering under constraints problem as well as approximation algorithms with helpful performance guarantees. Applications The book ends by applying clustering with constraints to relational data, privacy-preserving data publishing, and video surveillance data. It discusses an interactive visual clustering approach, a distance metric learning approach, existential constraints, and automatically generated constraints. With contributions from industrial researchers and leading academic experts who pioneered the field, this volume delivers thorough coverage of the capabilities and limitations of constrained clustering methods as well as introduces new types of constraints and clustering algorithms.

Download or read book A Parameter Selection Framework for Semi supervised Clustering Algorithms written by Mojgan Pourrajabi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many clustering techniques require parameter settings and depending on an algorithms sensitivity to the parameter, the choice of the parameter value can be very important. Several approaches have been proposed to find the "best" value of the clustering parameter for the different unsupervised clustering methods. We introduce a general method, denoted as "Cross-validation framework for finding clustering parameters" (CVCP). Given a data set, CVCP selects the "best" parameter value for a semi-supervised clustering method based on available constraints or labels that are given as input to a semi-supervised clustering method. CVCP is evaluated based on selecting the "best" value of k for a semi-supervised Kmeans-based clustering algorithm and the "best" value of MinPts for a semi-supervised density-based clustering algorithm. Our experimental results show that using the framework to select parameters can significantly improve the expected performance of a semi-supervised clustering method when appropriate parameter values often have to be "guessed."
