Agglomerative clustering (AC) Clustering algorithms: Part 2c • Pasi Fränti • 25.3.2014 • Speech & Image Processing Unit • School of Computing • University of Eastern Finland • Joensuu, FINLAND
Agglomerative clusteringCategorization by cost function Single link • Minimize distance of nearest vectors Complete link • Minimize distance of two furthest vectors Ward’s method • Minimize mean square error • In Vector Quantization, known as Pairwise Nearest Neighbor (PNN) method We focus on this
Pseudo code • PNN(X, M) → C, P • FOR i←1 TO N DO • p[i]←i; c[i]←x[i]; • REPEAT • a,b ← FindSmallestMergeCost(); • MergeClusters(a,b); • m←m-1; • UNTIL m=M; O(N) O(N2) N times T(N) = O(N3)
Ward’s method[Ward 1963: Journal of American Statistical Association] Merge cost: Local optimization strategy: Nearest neighbor search: • Find the cluster pair to be merged • Update of NN pointers

Storing distance matrix • Maintain the distance matrix and update rows for the changed cluster only! • Number of distance calculations reduces from O(N2) to O(N) for each step. • Search of the minimum pair still requires O(N2) time still O(N3) in total. • It also requires O(N2) memory.
Heap structure for fast search[Kurita 1991: Pattern Recognition] • Search reduces O(N2) O(logN). • In total: O(N2 logN)
Store nearest neighbor (NN) pointers[Fränti et al., 2000: IEEE Trans. Image Processing] Time complexity reduces to O(N 3) Ω (N 2)
Pseudo code • PNN(X, M) → C, P • FOR i←1 TO N DO • p[i]←i; c[i]←x[i]; • FOR i←1 TO N DO • NN[i]← FindNearestCluster(i); • REPEAT • a ← SmallestMergeCost(NN); • b ← NN[i]; • MergeClusters(C,P,NN,a,b,); • UpdatePointers(C,NN); • UNTIL m=M; O(N) O(N2) O(N) O(N) http://cs.uef.fi/pages/franti/research/pnn.txt

Processing time comparison With NN pointers
Algorithm:Lazy-PNN T. Kaukoranta, P. Fränti and O. Nevalainen, "Vector quantization by lazy pairwise nearest neighbor method", Optical Engineering, 38 (11), 1862-1868, November 1999
Monotony property of merge cost [Kaukoranta et al., Optical Engineering, 1999] Merge costs values are monotonically increasing: d(Sa, Sb) d(Sa, Sc) d(Sb, Sc) d(Sa, Sc) d(Sa+b, Sc)
Lazy variant of the PNN • Store merge costs in heap. • Update merge cost value only when it appears at top of the heap. • Processing time reduces about 35%.
