Hierarchical clustering in minimum spanning trees.
The identification of clusters or communities in complex networks is a reappearing problem. The minimum spanning tree (MST), the tree connecting all nodes with minimum total weight, is regarded as an important transport backbone of the original weighted graph. We hypothesize that the clustering of the MST reveals insight in the hierarchical structure of weighted graphs. However, existing theori...
متن کاملClustering with Minimum Spanning Trees
We propose two Euclidean minimum spanning tree based clustering algorithms — one a k-constrained, and the other an unconstrained algorithm. Our k-constrained clustering algorithm produces a k-partition of a set of points for any given k. The algorithm constructs a minimum spanning tree of a set of representative points and removes edges that satisfy a predefined criterion. The process is repeat...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Clustering Using Minimum Spanning Trees
In this work we propose a new information-theoretic clustering algorithm that infers cluster memberships by direct optimization of a non-parametric mutual information estimate between data distribution and cluster assignment. Although the optimization objective has a solid theoretical foundation it is hard to optimize. We propose an approximate optimization formulation that leads to an efficien...
متن کاملGeometric Minimum Spanning Trees
Let S be a set of n points in < d. We present an algorithm that uses the well-separated pair decomposition and computes the minimum spanning tree of S under any Lp or polyhedral metric. It has an expected running time of O(n logn) for uniform distributions. Experimentalresults show that this approachis practical. Under a variety of input distributions, the resultingimplementation is robust and ...

1 Background Members of some secret party want to shutdown some high risk communication channals, while preserving low risk channals to ensure that members are still connected in the secret network.
