Semi-supervised clustering via multi-level random walk

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a new semi-supervised clustering algorithm given pairwise constraints.

• It can expand the influence of the pairwise constraints locally and proportionally.

• It utilizes the pairwise constraints in an “edge→vertex→edge” manner.

• It introduces an intermediate structure to uncover the underlying sub-structures.

• Given a k-NN sparse similarity matrix, its time complexity is approximately linear.
