Fast and space efficient PNN algorithm with delayed distance calculations

چکیده
Clustering of a data set can be done by the well-known Pairwise Nearest Neighbor (PNN) algorithm. The algorithm is conceptionally very simple and gives high quality solutions. A drawback of the method is the relatively large running time of the original (exact) implementation. Recently, an efficient version of the exact PNN algorithm has been introduced in literature. In this paper we give a faster implementation of this algorithm. The idea is to postpone the updating of the nearest neighbor information in order to reduce the number of cluster distance calculations. Correctness of the algorithm follows from the monotony of the cluster distances. Practical tests show that the new organization of the algorithm decreases the running time of PNN by ca. 35 per cent.

Fast PNN-based Clustering Using K-nearest Neighbor Graph
Search for nearest neighbor is the main source of computation in most clustering algorithms. We propose the use of nearest neighbor graph for reducing the number of candidates. The number of distance calculations per search can be reduced from O(N) to O(k) where N is the number of clusters, and k is the number of neighbors in the graph. We apply the proposed scheme within agglomerative clusteri...

Feature Selection (FS) is an important pre-processing step in machine learning and data mining. All the traditional feature selection methods assume that the entire feature space is available from the beginning. However, online streaming features (OSF) are an integral part of many real-world applications. In OSF, the number of training examples is fixed while the number of features grows with t...
