Hero III"],"abstract":"One of the longstanding problems in spectral graph clustering (SGC) is the\nso-called model order selection problem: automated selection of the correct\nnumber of clusters. This is equivalent to the problem of finding the number of\nconnected components or communities in an undirected graph. In this paper, we\npropose AMOS, an automated model order selection algorithm for SGC. Based on a\nrecent analysis of clustering reliability for SGC under the random\ninterconnection model, AMOS works by incrementally increasing the number of\nclusters, estimating the quality of identified clusters, and providing a series\nof clustering reliability tests. Consequently, AMOS outputs clusters of minimal\nmodel order with statistical clustering reliability guarantees. Comparing to\nthree other automated graph clustering methods on real-world datasets, AMOS\nshows superior performance in terms of multiple external and internal\nclustering metrics.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06457v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.06457v1.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":"amos-an-automated-model-order-selection","repo_url":"https://github.com/tgensol/AMOS","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"},{"task_slug":"graph-clustering","task_name":"Graph Clustering"},{"task_slug":"spectral-graph-clustering","task_name":"Spectral Graph Clustering"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
