Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm that unifies manifold
embedding and clustering (UEC) which efficiently predicts clustering
assignments of the high dimensional data points in a new embedding
space. The algorithm is based on a bi-objective optimisation problem
combining embedding and clustering loss functions. Such original
formulation will allow to simultaneously preserve the original structure
of the data in the embedding space and produce better clustering
assignments. The experimental results using a number of real-world
datasets show that UEC is competitive with the state-of-art clustering
methods.
