Competitive Strategies for Online Clique Clustering

چکیده
A clique clustering of a graph is a partitioning of its vertices into disjoint cliques. The quality of a clique clustering is measured by the total number of edges in its cliques. We consider the online variant of the clique clustering problem, where the vertices of the input graph arrive one at a time. At each step, the newly arrived vertex forms a singleton clique, and the algorithm can merge any existing cliques in its partitioning into larger cliques, but splitting cliques is not allowed. We give an online strategy with competitive ratio 15.645 and we prove a lower bound of 6 on the competitive ratio, improving the previous respective bounds of 31 and 2.

متن کاملCompetitive Online Clique Clustering
Clique clustering is the problem of partitioning a graph into cliques so that some objective function is optimized. In online clustering, the input graph is given one vertex at a time, and any vertices that have previously been clustered together are not allowed to be separated. The objective here is to maintain a clustering the never deviates too far in the objective function compared to the o...
متن کاملNGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
متن کاملOnline clustering with CFinder
Due to the constant increase of the complexity and size of the complex networks studied, the need for distributed implementations of network clustering methods is getting more urgent each year. Here we present the online version of CFinder, which can locate overlapping communities in directed, weighted or undirected networks based on the clique percolation method (CPM). Due to the local nature ...
متن کاملOnline Correlation Clustering
We study the online clustering problem where data items arrive in an online fashion. The algorithm maintains a clustering of data items into similarity classes. Upon arrival of v, the relation between v and previously arrived items is revealed, so that for each u we are told whether v is similar to u. The algorithm can create a new cluster for v and merge existing clusters. When the objective i...
