Abstract

Manifold learning has attracted more and more attention in machine learning for past decades. Unsupervised Large Graph Embedding (ULGE), which performs well on the large-scale data, has been proposed for manifold learning. To improve the clustering performance, a novel Unsupervised Ensemble Learning based on Graph Embedding (UEL-GE) is explored, which takes ULGE to get low-dimensional embeddings of the given data and uses the K-means method to obtain the clustering results. Furthermore, the multiple clusterings are corrected by using the bestMap method. Finally, the corrected clusterings are combined to generate the final clustering. Extensive experiments on several data sets are conducted to show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed ensemble learning method.
