Title On discovery of extremely low-dimensional clusters using semi-supervised projected clustering
Abstract
  Recent studies suggest that projected clusters with extremely low dimensionality exist in many real datasets.  A number of projected clustering algorithms have been proposed in the past several years, but few can identify clusters with dimensionality lower than 10% of the total number of dimensions, which are commonly found in some real datasets such as gene expression profiles.  In this talk, we present a new algorithm that can accurately identify projected clusters with relevant dimensions as few as 5% of the total number of dimensions.  It makes use of a robust objective function that combines object clustering and dimension selection into a single optimization problem.  The algorithm can also utilize domain knowledge in the form of labeled objects and labeled dimensions to improve its clustering accuracy.  Both the theoretical analysis and experimental results show that by using a small amount of input knowledge, the new algorithm can be further improved to accurately detect clusters with only 1% of the dimensions being relevant.
