Abstract

Search for nearest neighbor is the main source ofcomputation in most clustering algorithms. We proposethe use of nearest neighbor graph for reducing thenumber of candidates. The number of distancecalculations per search can be reduced from O(N) to O(k)where N is the number of clusters, and k is the number ofneighbors in the graph. We apply the proposed schemewithin agglomerative clustering algorithm known as thePNN algorithm.
