Ragesh Jaiswal, Amit Kumar, Sandeep Sen

摘要:

给定一组点$P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$,$k$ -均值聚类问题是找到一组$k$ { \em中心} $C = \{c_1,...,c_k\}, c_i \in \mathbb{R}^d,$,使得目标函数$\sum_{x \in P} d(x,C)^2$最小,其中$d(x,C)$表示$x$和$C$中最近中心之间的距离.这是一个最突出的目标函数,已被研究有关聚类。$D^2$ -采样\cite{ArthurV07}是一种简单的非均匀采样技术,用于从一组点中选择点。它的工作原理如下:给定一组点$P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$,从$P$中均匀随机选择第一个点。随后,从$P$中选择一个点作为下一个样本,其概率与该点到最近的先前采样点的距离的平方成比例。$D^2$ -采样已被证明具有很好的属性,相对于$k$ -均值聚类问题。Arthur和Vassilvitskii \cite{ArthurV07}表明,使用$D^2$ -采样从$P$中选择作为中心的$k$点给出了预期的$O(\log{k})$近似值。艾伦等\cite{AJMonteleoni09}和Aggarwal et. \cite{AggarwalDK09}等人扩展了\cite{ArthurV07}的结果,以表明使用$D^2$采样选择作为中心的$O(k)$点以高概率给出$O(1)$对$k$均值目标函数的近似。在本文中,我们进一步证明了$D^2$采样的权力,通过给出一个简单的随机$(1 + ε)$近似算法,使用$D^2$采样在其核心。

英文摘要:

Given a set of points $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, the $k$-means clustering problem is to find a set of $k$ {\em centers} $C = \{c_1,...,c_k\}, c_i \in \mathbb{R}^d,$ such that the objective function $\sum_{x \in P} d(x,C)^2$, where $d(x,C)$ denotes the distance between $x$ and the closest center in $C$, is minimized. This is one of the most prominent objective functions that have been studied with respect to clustering. $D^2$-sampling \cite{ArthurV07} is a simple non-uniform sampling technique for choosing points from a set of points. It works as follows: given a set of points $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, the first point is chosen uniformly at random from $P$. Subsequently, a point from $P$ is chosen as the next sample with probability proportional to the square of the distance of this point to the nearest previously sampled points. $D^2$-sampling has been shown to have nice properties with respect to the $k$-means clustering problem. Arthur and Vassilvitskii \cite{ArthurV07} show that $k$ points chosen as centers from $P$ using $D^2$-sampling gives an $O(\log{k})$ approximation in expectation. Ailon et. al. \cite{AJMonteleoni09} and Aggarwal et. al. \cite{AggarwalDK09} extended results of \cite{ArthurV07} to show that $O(k)$ points chosen as centers using $D^2$-sampling give $O(1)$ approximation to the $k$-means objective function with high probability. In this paper, we further demonstrate the power of $D^2$-sampling by giving a simple randomized $(1 + ε)$-approximation algorithm that uses the $D^2$-sampling in its core.
