Presentation Transcript

  1. Clustering 조이현

  2. Overview • What is clustering? • Clustering algorithms

  3. What is clustering? • Clustering • The act of grouping similar object into sets • Clustering vs. Classification • Classification assigns objects to predefined groups • Clustering infers groups based on clustered objects

  4. Clustering algorithms • Hierarchical • Bottom-up (agglomerative clustering) • Top-down (divisive clustering) • Non-Hierarchical • K-means (can be fuzzy) • Single-pass (incremental)

  5. Hierarchical Clustering • Bottom-up (agglomerative clustering) • Start with the individual object • Join cluster with maximum similarity • Top-down (divisive clustering) • Start with all the object • Divides them into groups • Split least coherent part in cluster

  6. Agglomerative clustering

  7. Clustering result: dendrogram

  8. Hierarchical clustering variants • Various ways of calculating cluster similarity single-link (minimum) complete-link (maximum) Group-average (average)

  9. Single Link • Similarity of two most similar members • Time complexity • O(n2) • Locally Coherent • Close objects are in the same cluster • Chaining effect

  10. Complete Link • Similarity of two least similar members • Time complexity • O(n3) • Focused on global cluster quality • Avoids elongated cluster

  11. Group average • Averages similarity between members • Time complexity • O(n2) • compromise between single-link and complete-link

  12. K-means clustering • Defines clusters by the center of mass of their members • Initial center of cluster are randomly selected • Assign objects to cluster using distances between center and object • Re-compute the center of each cluster • Return step2 until stopping criteria is satisfied

  13. K-means clustering (k=3)

  14. Single-pass threshold

  15. Preferable for detailed data analysis Provides more information than flat No single best algorithm (dependent on application) Less efficient than flat ( N X N similarity matrix required) Preferable if efficiency is consideration or data sets are very large K-means is the conceptually simplest method K-means assumes a simple Euclidean representation space and so can’t be used for many data sets Properties of hierarchical and flat clustering
