For graph cut based spectral clustering, it is common to model real-valued data into graph by modeling pairwise similarities using kernel function. This is because the kernel function has a theoretical connection to the graph cut. For problems where using multi-way similarities are more suitable than pairwise ones, it is natural to model as a hypergraph, which is generalization of a graph. However, although the hypergraph cut is well-studied, there is not yet established a hypergraph cut based framework to model multi-way similarity. In this paper, we formulate multi-way similarities by exploiting the theoretical foundation of kernel function. We show a theoretical connection between our formulation and hypergraph cut in two ways, generalizing both weighted kernel $k$-means and the heat kernel, by which we justify our formulation. We also provide a fast algorithm for spectral clustering. Our algorithm empirically shows better performance than existing graph and other heuristic modeling methods.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.09888v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.09888v3.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":"hypergraph-modeling-via-spectral-embedding","repo_url":"https://github.com/ShotaSAITO/HypergraphModeling","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2203.09888","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
