Dimensionality Reduction
• PCA, ICA, LLE, Isomap
• Principal component analysis– Creates a basis where the axes
represent the dimensions of variance, from high to low.
– Finds correlations in data dimensions to produce best possible lower-dimensional representation based on linear projections.
– Subtract mean of data, compute eigendecomposition.
– Eigenvectors are directions of variance; eigenvalues are magnitudes of variance.

Clustering
Group together similar ‘points’ and represent them with a single token.
Key Challenges:
1) What makes two points/images/patches similar?
2) How do we compute an overall grouping from pairwise similarities?

Why do we cluster?
• Summarizing data– Look at large amounts of data– Patch-based compression or denoising– Represent a large continuous vector with the cluster number
• Counting– Histograms of texture, color, SIFT vectors
• Segmentation– Separate the image into different regions
• Prediction– Images in the same cluster may have the same labels

How do we cluster?
• K-means– Iteratively re-assign points to the nearest cluster center
• Agglomerative clustering– Start with each point as its own cluster and iteratively
merge the closest clusters
• Mean-shift clustering– Estimate modes of pdf
• Spectral clustering– Split the nodes in a graph based on assigned links with
similarity weights

• What is good about k-means?
• What is bad about k-means?
• Where could you apply k-means?

K-means: design choices
• Initialization
– Randomly select K points as initial cluster center
– Or greedily choose K points to minimize residual
• Distance measures
– Traditionally Euclidean, could be others
• Optimization
– Will converge to a local minimum
– May want to perform multiple restarts

How to choose the number of clusters?
• Validation set
– Try different numbers of clusters and look at performance
• When building dictionaries (discussed later), more clusters typically work better.

How to initialize the clusters?
k-means++ initialization
– Make the initial cluster centers span the space
1. Choose one center uniformly at random from all data points.
2. For each point x, compute the distance D(x) between x and the nearest center that has already been chosen.
3. Choose one new data point at random as a new center, using a weighted probability distribution where a point x is chosen with probability proportional to D(x)2.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until k centers have been chosen.
5. Proceed using standard k-means clustering.

K-Means pros and cons• Pros
• Finds cluster centers that minimize conditional variance (good representation of data)
• Simple and fast*
• Easy to implement
• Cons
• Need to choose K
• Sensitive to outliers
• Prone to local minima
• All clusters have the same parameters (e.g., distance measure is non-adaptive)
• *Can be slow: each iteration is O(KNd) for N d-dimensional points
• Usage
• Cluster features to build visual dictionaries

Building Visual Dictionaries
1. Sample features from a database
– E.g., 128 dimensional SIFT vectors
2. Cluster to build dictionary
– Cluster centers are the dictionary words
3. To match new features, assign to the nearest cluster to save rebuilding dictionary

Agglomerative clustering
How to define cluster similarity?- Average distance between points, maximum
distance, minimum distance
- Distance between means or medoids
How many clusters?- Clustering creates a dendrogram (a tree)
- Threshold based on max number of clusters or based on distance between merges

Conclusions: Agglomerative Clustering
Good• Simple to implement, widespread application• Clusters have adaptive shapes• Provides a hierarchy of clusters
Bad• May have imbalanced clusters• Still have to choose number of clusters or
threshold• Need to use an “ultrametric” to get a meaningful
hierarchy

Mean shift clustering
The mean shift algorithm seeks modes of the given set of points
1. Choose kernel and bandwidth
2. For each point:
a) Center a window on that point
b) Compute the mean of the data in the search window
c) Center the search window at the new mean location
d) Repeat (b,c) until convergence
3. Assign points that lead to nearby modes to the same cluster

• Compute features for each pixel (color, gradients, texture, etc.).
• Set kernel size for features Kf and position Ks.
• Initialize windows at individual pixel locations.
• Perform mean shift for each window until convergence.
• Merge windows that are within width of Kf and Ks.

Mean shift pros and cons
• Pros
– Good general-practice segmentation
– Flexible in number and shape of regions
– Robust to outliers
• Cons
– Have to choose kernel size in advance
– Not suitable for high-dimensional features
• When to use it
– Oversegmentation
– Multiple segmentations
– Tracking, clustering, filtering applications

Normalized Cut
• a cut penalizes large segments
• fix by normalizing for size of segments
• volume(A) = sum of costs of all edges that touch A

Which algorithm to use?
• Quantization/Summarization: K-means
– Aims to preserve variance of original data
– Can easily assign new point to a cluster
Quantization for
computing histograms

Which algorithm to use?
• Image segmentation: agglomerative clustering
– More flexible with distance measures (e.g., can be based on boundary prediction)
– Adapts better to specific data
– Hierarchy can be useful
