Note that convergence to the second eigenvector is not guaranteed but we can guarantee that the bipartitioning of 1-Spectral Clustering is at least as good as the one of Spectral Clustering and empirically it is in general much better. </p> <p>1-Spectral Clustering supercedes our previous p-Spectral Clustering, as 1-Spectral Clustering is much faster and yields better cuts. As the underlying optimization method is based on a first order method, the method easily scales to large sparse graphs. </p></html>matthias hein, thomas buehlerTue, 01 May 2018 19:26:07 -0000http://mloss.org/software/rss/comments/287http://mloss.org/software/view/287/spectral clusteringclusteringgraph partitioning
