• Title: Adaptively Robust and Sparse K-means Clustering
• Authors: Hao Li, Shonosuke Sugasawa, Shota Katayama,
• Abstract summary: This paper proposes adaptively robust and sparse K-means clustering (ARSK) to address these practical limitations of the standard K-means algorithm. For robustness, we introduce a redundant error component for each observation, and this additional parameter is penalized using a group sparse penalty. To accommodate the impact of high-dimensional noisy variables, the objective function is modified by incorporating weights and implementing a penalty to control the sparsity of the weight vector.

• Abstract: While K-means is known to be a standard clustering algorithm, its performance may be compromised due to the presence of outliers and high-dimensional noisy variables. This paper proposes adaptively robust and sparse K-means clustering (ARSK) to address these practical limitations of the standard K-means algorithm. For robustness, we introduce a redundant error component for each observation, and this additional parameter is penalized using a group sparse penalty. To accommodate the impact of high-dimensional noisy variables, the objective function is modified by incorporating weights and implementing a penalty to control the sparsity of the weight vector. The tuning parameters to control the robustness and sparsity are selected by Gap statistics. Through simulation experiments and real data analysis, we demonstrate the proposed method's superiority to existing algorithms in identifying clusters without outliers and informative variables simultaneously.

  We propose Consensus Hierarchical Random Feature (CoHiRF), a novel clustering method designed to address challenges effectively. CoHiRF leverages random feature selection to mitigate noise and dimensionality effects, repeatedly applies K-Means clustering in reduced feature spaces, and combines results through a unanimous consensus criterion. CoHiRF is computationally efficient with a running time comparable to K-Means, scalable to massive datasets, and exhibits robust performance against state-of-the-art methods such as SC-SRGF, HDBSCAN, and OPTICS.

  The paper proposes a family of communication efficient methods for distributed learning in heterogeneous environments. One-shot approach, based on local computations at the users and a clustering based aggregation step at the server is shown to provide strong learning guarantees. For strongly convex problems it is shown that, as long as the number of data points per user is above a threshold, the proposed approach achieves order-optimal mean-squared error rates in terms of the sample size.
