• Abstract: In this work we build a unifying framework to interpolate between density-driven and geometry-based algorithms for data clustering, and specifically, to connect the mean shift algorithm with spectral clustering at discrete and continuum levels. We seek this connection through the introduction of Fokker-Planck equations on data graphs. Besides introducing new forms of mean shift algorithms on graphs, we provide new theoretical insights on the behavior of the family of diffusion maps in the large sample limit as well as provide new connections between diffusion maps and mean shift dynamics on a fixed graph. Several numerical examples illustrate our theoretical findings and highlight the benefits of interpolating density-driven and geometry-based clustering algorithms.
