Abstract
En 中文
K-means is a powerful unsupervised clustering method for regularly structured data, relying fundamentally on geometric cluster centers. However, extending this paradigm to graph-structured data remains challenging. We propose ”K-Graph-Centers” — a novel method that defines the graph cluster via ”graph center”, represented as an $N$-dimensional vector minimizing the sum of weighted topological distances within its cluster. We introduce an efficient power iteration scheme to compute graph centers by: 1) diffusing affinity through normalized adjacency matrix; 2) enforcing sparsity via row-wise discretization. Cluster assignments are derived from the converged graph centers, similar with K-means. K-Graph-Centers method exhibits rather lower computational complexity and fast convergence speed, compared to traditional spectral-based methods. The experimental results verify its time efficiency and clustering performance in common metrics.
