Research on Clustering Performance of Sparse Subspace Clustering
share
Recently, sparse subspace clustering has been a valid tool to deal with high-dimensional data. There are two essential steps in the framework of sparse subspace clustering. One is solving the coefficient matrix of data, and the other is constructing the affinity matrix from the coefficient matrix, which is applied to the spectral clustering. This paper investigates the factors which affect clustering performance from both clustering accuracy and stability of the approaches based on existing algorithms. We select four methods to solve the coefficient matrix and use four different ways to construct a similarity matrix for each coefficient matrix. Then we compare the clustering performance of different combinations on three datasets. The experimental results indicate that both the coefficient matrix and affinity matrix have a huge influence on clustering performance and how to develop a stable and valid algorithm still needs to be studied.
