The algorithm is based on a two-stage approach similar to the one in \\cite{LaiMckenzie2020}. However, under a weaker assumption and with less computational complexity than the one in \\cite{LaiMckenzie2020}, the algorithm is shown to be able to find a desired cluster with high probability. The ``one cluster at a time\" feature of our method distinguishes it from other global clustering methods. Several numerical experiments are conducted on the synthetic data such as stochastic block model and real data such as MNIST, political blogs network, AT\\&T and YaleB human faces data sets to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.02904v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.02904v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-least-square-approach-to-semi-supervised","repo_url":"https://github.com/zzzzms/leastsquareclustering","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"},{"task_slug":"stochastic-block-model","task_name":"Stochastic Block Model"},{"task_slug":"compressed-sensing","task_name":"compressed sensing"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
