Robust Graph Learning From Noisy Data, Zhao Kang, Haiqi Pan, Steven C. H. Hoi, Zenglin Xu May 2020

Robust Graph Learning From Noisy Data, Zhao Kang, Haiqi Pan, Steven C. H. Hoi, Zenglin Xu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Learning graphs from data automatically have shown encouraging performance on clustering and semisupervised learning tasks. However, real data are often corrupted, which may cause the learned graph to be inexact or unreliable. In this paper, we propose a novel robust graph learning scheme to learn reliable graphs from the real-world noisy data by adaptively removing noise and errors in the raw data. We show that our proposed model can also be viewed as a robust version of manifold regularized robust principle component analysis (RPCA), where the quality of the graph plays a critical role. The proposed model is able to …

Redpc: A Residual Error-Based Density Peak Clustering Algorithm, Milan Parmar, Di Wang, Xiaofeng Zhang, Ah-Hwee Tan, Chunyan Miao, You Zhou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The density peak clustering (DPC) algorithm was designed to identify arbitrary-shaped clusters by finding density peaks in the underlying dataset. Due to its aptitudes of relatively low computational complexity and a small number of control parameters in use, DPC soon became widely adopted. However, because DPC takes the entire data space into consideration during the computation of local density, which is then used to generate a decision graph for the identification of cluster centroids, DPC may face difficulty in differentiating overlapping clusters and in dealing with low-density data points. In this paper, we propose a residual error-based density peak clustering …


Efficient Reduced Bias Genetic Algorithm For Generic Community Detection Objectives, Aditya Karnam Gururaj Rao Apr 2018

Efficient Reduced Bias Genetic Algorithm For Generic Community Detection Objectives, Aditya Karnam Gururaj Rao

Theses

The problem of community structure identification has been an extensively investigated area for biology, physics, social sciences, and computer science in recent years for studying the properties of networks representing complex relationships. Most traditional methods, such as K-means and hierarchical clustering, are based on the assumption that communities have spherical configurations. Lately, Genetic Algorithms (GA) are being utilized for efficient community detection without imposing sphericity. GAs are machine learning methods which mimic natural selection and scale with the complexity of the network. However, traditional GA approaches employ a representation method that dramatically increases the solution space to be searched by …


A Novel Density Peak Clustering Algorithm Based On Squared Residual Error, Milan Parmar, Di Wang, Ah-Hwee Tan, Chunyan Miao, Jianhua Jiang, You Zhou Dec 2017

A Novel Density Peak Clustering Algorithm Based On Squared Residual Error, Milan Parmar, Di Wang, Ah-Hwee Tan, Chunyan Miao, Jianhua Jiang, You Zhou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The density peak clustering (DPC) algorithm is designed to quickly identify intricate-shaped clusters with high dimensionality by finding high-density peaks in a non-iterative manner and using only one threshold parameter. However, DPC has certain limitations in processing low-density data points because it only takes the global data density distribution into account. As such, DPC may confine in forming low-density data clusters, or in other words, DPC may fail in detecting anomalies and borderline points. In this paper, we analyze the limitations of DPC and propose a novel density peak clustering algorithm to better handle low-density clustering tasks. Specifically, our algorithm …

Automatically Discovering The Number Of Clusters In Web Page Datasets, Zhongmei Yao Jan 2015

Automatically Discovering The Number Of Clusters In Web Page Datasets, Zhongmei Yao

Zhongmei Yao

Clustering is well-suited for Web mining by automatically organizing Web pages into categories, each of which contains Web pages having similar contents. However, one problem in clustering is the lack of general methods to automatically determine the number of categories or clusters. For the Web domain in particular, currently there is no such method suitable for Web page clustering. In an attempt to address this problem, we discover a constant factor that characterizes the Web domain, based on which we propose a new method for automatically determining the number of clusters in Web page data sets. We discover that the …
