Abstract

Motivated by the local reconstruction approach to discovering low dimensional structure in high dimensional data, we propose a novel clustering algorithm that effectively utilizes local reconstruction information. We obtain the local reconstruction weights by minimizing the reconstruction error between each data point and the reconstruction from its neighbors. An entropy regularization term is incorporated into the reconstruction objective function so that the smoothness of the reconstruction weights can be explicitly controlled. The reconstruction weights are then used to obtain the clustering result by employing spectral clustering techniques. Experimental results on a number of datasets demonstrate that our algorithm performs well relative to other approaches, which validate the effectiveness of our approach for clustering.
