Enhanced Affinity Measures using Local Properties for Spectral Clustering

Abstract

Our research work consists of contribution in terms of devising three novel newlinesimilarity metrics in three major areas viz., a) Topological Node Features (TNF) newlinebased similarity b) Conformal Prediction (CP) based similarity and c) Steering newlinekernel covariance matrix based similarity. In the thesis, one can also see the role of newlineneighborhood information in the construction of effective similarity metrics for newlineSpectral Clustering(SC) framework. newline
