Google AI Introduces a Novel Clustering Algorithm
Clustering is a common challenge in data mining and unsupervised machine learning. It involves grouping similar items together. There are two types of clustering: metric clustering and graph clustering.
Metric Clustering
Metric clustering uses a specified metric space to establish distances between data points. These distances are used to group the data points.
Graph Clustering
Graph clustering connects similar data points through edges in a given graph. The clustering process organizes the data points into groups based on these connections.
Researchers have introduced a clustering algorithm called KwikBucks that combines the advantages of embedding models and cross-attention models. This algorithm uses both models to cluster data points.
The algorithm starts by identifying a set of documents called centers that do not share similarity edges. Clusters are then created based on these centers. The algorithm uses a method called the combo similarity oracle to balance the information from both models.
The combo similarity oracle uses the embedding model to guide the selection of queries directed to the cross-attention model. This helps conserve resources by limiting the number of query calls to the cross-attention model.
After the initial clustering, there is a post-processing step where clusters are merged based on strong connections between them.
The algorithm has been tested on various datasets and compared to other baseline algorithms. Precision and recall metrics are used to evaluate its performance.
