  2. Goal of k-means Input N points: X={x1, x2, …, xN} Output partition and k centroids: P={p1, p2, …, pk} C={c1, c2, …, ck} Objective function: SSE = sum-of-squared errors

  3. Goal of k-means Input N points: X={x1, x2, …, xN} Output partition and k centroids: P={p1, p2, …, pk} C={c1, c2, …, ck} Objective function: Assumptions: • SSE is suitable • k is known

  4. K-means algorithm X = Data set C = Cluster centroids P = Partition K-Means(X, C) → (C, P) REPEAT Cprev← C; FOR i=1 TO N DOpi ← FindNearest(xi, C); FOR j=1 TO k DO cj ← Average of xi pi = j; UNTIL C = Cprev Assignment step Centroid step

  5. K-means optimization steps Assignment step: Centroid step:

  6. Problems of k-meansDistance of clusters Cannot move centroids between clusters far away

  7. Problems of k-meansDependency of initial solution Initial solution: After k-means:

  8. K-means performanceHow affected by? 1. Overlap 3. Dimensionality 4. Unbalance of cluster sizes 2. Number of clusters

  9. Basic Benchmark

  10. Data sets statistics

  11. A1 A2 A3 A sets K=20 K=35 K=50 • Spherical clusters • Number of clusters changing from k=20 to 50 • Subsets of each other: A1  A2  A3. • Other parameters fixed: • Cluster size = 150 • Deviation = 1402 • Overlap = 0.30 • - Dimensionality = 2

  12. overlap increases S sets K=15 Gaussian clusters (few truncated) S S S S 1 2 3 4 9% 41% 22% 44% Least overlap Strong overlap but the clusters still recognizable

  13. Unbalance K=8 Dense clusters Sparse clusters st.dev=2043 st.dev=6637 100 100 Areas well-separated 2000 100 2000 2000 100 100 *Correct clustering can be obtained by minimizing SSE

  14. DIM sets K=16 DIM32 • Well-separated clusters in high-dimensional spaces • Dimensions vary: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024

  15. G2 Datasets K=2 G2-2-30 G2-2-50 G2-2-70 600,600 500,500 Dataset name: G2-dim-sd Centroid 1: [500,500, ...] Centroid 2: [600,600, ...] Dimensions: 2,4,8,16, ... 1024 St.dev. 10,20,30, ... 100

  18. Properties

  19. Measured properties • Overlap • Contrast • Intrinsic dimensionality • H-index • Distance profiles

  20. Misclassification probability Points from blue cluster that are closer to red centroid. Points from red cluster that are closer to blue centroid. Points = 2048 Incorrect = 20 Overlap = 20 / 2048 0.9 %

  21. Overlap Points in blue cluster whose red neigbor is closer than its centroids. Points in red cluster whose blue neighbor is closer than its centroids. Points = 2048 Evidence = 332 Overlap = 332 / 2048 16 % d1 = distance to nearest centroid d2 = distance to 2nd nearest

  22. Contrast

  23. Intrinsic dimensionality Average of distances Variance of distances Unbalance DIM 0.4 Birch2 Birch1 6.7 - 7.5 2.6 S sets A1 A2 A3 8.3 2.0 2.5 1.5 2.2

  24. H-index Hubness values: 2 0 4 2 Hub 2 2 2 Rank: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Hub: 4 2 2 2 2 2 0

  25. Distance profiles • Data that contains clusters tends to have two peaks: • Local distances: distances inside the clusters • Global distances: distances across different clusters A2 A1 A3 S1 S2 S3 S4 Birch1 Birch2 DIM32 Unbalance
