  12. Quality: What is Good Clustering? • A good clustering method will produce high quality clusters with • high intra-classsimilarity • low inter-class similarity • The quality of a clustering result depends on both the implementation of a method and the similarity measure used by this method • The qualityof a clustering method is also measured by its ability to discover some or all of the hidden patterns 12 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  15. Data Structures Distance matrix (dissimilarity matrix) • Data matrix n instances, p attributes (features) • Minkowskidistance: • If q = 1, d is Manhattan distance • If q = 2, d is Euclidean distance • Cosine measure • Correlation coefficient 15 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  25. k-means clustering • Number of clusters, K, must be specified • Each cluster is associated with an averaged point (centroid) • Each point is assigned to the cluster with the closest centroid • The basic algorithm is very simple 25 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  26. Example: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 k-means clustering 10 9 8 7 6 5 Update the cluster means Assign each objects to most similar center 4 3 2 1 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 reassign reassign K=2 Arbitrarily choose K object as initial cluster center Update the cluster means 26 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  27. K-means Clustering – Details • Initial centroids are often chosen randomly. • Clusters produced vary from one run to another. • The centroid is (typically) the mean of the points in the cluster. • ‘Closeness’ is measured by Euclidean distance, cosine similarity, correlation, etc. • K-means will converge for common similarity measures mentioned above. • Most of the convergence happens in the first few iterations. • Often the stopping condition is changed to ‘Until relatively few points change clusters’ • Complexity is O( n * K * t * d ) n = number of points, K = number of clusters, t = number of iterations, d = number of attributes 27 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  28. Partitioning Algorithms • k-means • Algorithm • Issue of initial centroids , clustering evaluation • Limitations of k-means • k-medoids 28 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  29. Importance of Choosing Initial Centroid Run 2 Run 1 • Clusters produced vary from one run to another. Original Points 29

  30. Evaluating K-means Clustering • Most common measure is Sum of Squared Error (SSE) • For each point, the error is the distance to the nearest centroid (the error of representing each point by its nearest centroid) • Given two clustering results, we can choose the one with smaller error • SSE of optimal clustering result reduces when increasing K, the number of clusters • A good clustering with smaller K can have a lower SSE than a poor clustering with higher K • Note: C1 is better than C2 30 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  31. Importance of Choosing Initial Centroid Run 2 Run 1 • Clusters produced vary from one run to another. Original Points SSE(Run1) < SSR(Run2) 31

  32. Solutions to Initial Centroids Problem • Multiple runs • select the one with smallest SSE • Sample and use hierarchical clustering to determine initial centroids 32 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  33. Comments on the K-Means Method • Strength:Relatively efficient: O(nktd), where n is # objects, k is # clusters, t is # iterations , and d is # dimensions. Normally, k, t ,d<< n. • Comparing: PAM: O(k(n-k)2 ), CLARA: O(ks2 + k(n-k)) • Comment: Often terminates at a local optimum. • Weakness • Applicable only when mean is defined, then what about categorical data? • Need to specify k, the number of clusters, in advance • Unable to handle noisy data and outliers • Not suitable to discover clusters with differing sizes, differing density, non-convex shapes 33 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  34. Partitioning Algorithms • k-means • Algorithm • Issue of initial centroids , clustering evaluation • Limitations of k-means • k-medoids 34 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  35. Limitations of K-means: Differing Sizes K-means (3 Clusters) Original Points 35 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  36. Limitations of K-means: Differing Density K-means (3 Clusters) Original Points 36 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  37. Limitations of K-means: Non-convex Shapes Original Points K-means (2 Clusters) 37 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  38. Overcoming K-means Limitations Original Points K-means Clusters • One solution is to use many clusters. • Find parts of clusters, but need to put together. 38 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  42. Partitioning Algorithms • k-means • Algorithm • Issue of initial centroids , clustering evaluation • Limitations of k-means • k-medoids • PAM • CLARA • CLARANS 42 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  43. The K-Medoids Clustering Method • Find representative objects, called medoids, in clusters • k-medoids, use the same strategy of k-means • PAM(Partitioning Around Medoids, 1987) • starts from an initial set of medoids and iteratively replaces one of the medoids by one of the non-medoids if it improves the total distance of the resulting clustering • PAM works effectively for small data sets, but does not scale well for large data sets • CLARA(Kaufmann & Rousseeuw, 1990) • CLARANS(Ng & Han, 1994): Randomized sampling 43 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

Do loop Until no change 44

  45. PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids) (1987) • PAM(Partitioning Around Medoids, Kaufman and Rousseeuw, 1987) • Use real object to represent the cluster • Select k representative objects (medoids) arbitrarily • For each pair of non-selected object h and selected objecti, calculate the total swapping cost TCihTCih= total_cost(replace i by h) - total_cost(no replace) • If min(TCih )< 0, i is replaced by h Then assign each non-selected object to the most similar representative object • repeat steps 2-3 until there is no change • O(k(n-k)2 ) for each iteration where n is # of data, k is # of clusters 45 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  46. CLARA (Clustering Large Applications) (1990) • CLARA(Clustering LARge Applications, Kaufmann and Rousseeuw) • Sampling based method: • It draws multiple samples of the data set, • applies PAM on each sample, • gives the best clustering as the output (minimizing cost/SSE) • Strength: deals with larger data sets than PAM • Weakness: • Efficiency depends on the sample size • A good clustering based on samples will not necessarily represent a good clustering of the whole data set if the sample is biased 46 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  47. CLARANS (“Randomized” CLARA) (1994) • CLARANS(A Clustering Algorithm based on Randomized Search, Ng and Han’94) • The clustering process can be presented as searching a graph where every node is a potential solution, that is, a set of kmedoids • PAM: checks every neighbor • CLARA: examines fewer neighbors, searches in subgraphs built from samples • CLARANS: searches the whole graph but draws sample of neighbors dynamically Two nodes are connected as neighbors if their sets differ by only one item Each node: k medoids, which correspond to a clustering ……. ……. ……. each node has k(n-k) neighbors 47 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining

  48. CLARANS (“Randomized” CLARA) (1994) ……. ……. ……. • CLARANS: searches the whole graph but draws sample of neighbors dynamically • It is more efficient and scalable than both PAM and CLARA • Focusing techniques and spatial access structures may further improve its performance (Ester et al.’95) 48 Xiangliang Zhang, KAUST AMCS/CS 340: Data Mining
