Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Graph-based clustering is an efficient method for identifying clusters in local and nonlinear data patterns. Among the existing methods, spectral clustering is one of the most prominent algorithms. However, this method is vulnerable to noise and outliers. This study proposes a robust graph-based clustering method that removes the data nodes of relatively low density. The proposed method calculates the pseudo-density from a similarity matrix, and reconstructs it using a sparse regularization model. In this process, noise and the outer points are determined and removed. Unlike previous edge cutting-based methods, the proposed method is robust to noise while detecting clusters because it cuts out irrelevant nodes. We use a simulation and real-world data to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method by comparing it to existing methods in terms of clustering accuracy and robustness to noisy data. The comparison results confirm that the proposed method outperforms the alternatives. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
