Accelerate Support Vector Clustering via Spectrum-Preserving Data Compression?

Yuxuan Song, Yongyu Wang

Support vector clustering is an important clustering method. However, it suffers from a scalability issue due to its computational expensive cluster assignment step. In this paper we accelertate the support vector clustering via spectrum-preserving data compression. Specifically, we first compress the original data set into a small amount of spectrally representative aggregated data points. Then, we perform standard support vector clustering on the compressed data set. Finally, we map the clustering results of the compressed data set back to discover the clusters in the original data set. Our extensive experimental results on real-world data set demonstrate dramatically speedups over standard support vector clustering without sacrificing clustering quality.
