• Abstract: Although numerous clustering algorithms have been developed, many existing methods still leverage k-means technique to detect clusters of data points. However, the performance of k-means heavily depends on the estimation of centers of clusters, which is very difficult to achieve an optimal solution. Another major drawback is that it is sensitive to noise and outlier data. In this paper, from manifold learning perspective, we rethink k-means and present a new clustering algorithm which directly detects clusters of data without mean estimation. Specifically, we construct distance matrix between data points by Butterworth filter such that distance between any two data points in the same clusters equals to a small constant, while increasing the distance between other data pairs from different clusters. To well exploit the complementary information embedded in different views, we leverage the tensor Schatten p-norm regularization on the 3rd-order tensor which consists of indicator matrices of different views. Finally, an efficient alternating algorithm is derived to optimize our model. The constructed sequence was proved to converge to the stationary KKT point. Extensive experimental results indicate the superiority of our proposed method.

  k-means is an iterative clustering algorithm that randomly assigns k centroids, then assigns data points to the nearest centroid, and updates centroids based on the mean of assigned points. Research investigates the prediction of the last component of data points obtained from a distribution of clustered data using the online balanced k-means approach.
