相似度计算1相似度的计算简介关于相似度的计算，现有的几种基本方法都是基于向量（Vector）的，其实也就是计算两个向量的距离，距离越近相似度越大。
在推荐的场景中，在用户-物品偏好的二维矩阵中，我们可以将一个用户对所有物品的偏好作为一个向量来计算用户之间的相似度，或者将所有用户对某个物品的偏好作为一个向量来计算物品之间的相似度。
下面我们详细介绍几种常用的相似度计算方法：1.1皮尔逊相关系数（Pearson Correlation Coefficient）皮尔逊相关系数一般用于计算两个定距变量间联系的紧密程度，它的取值在 [-1，+1] 之间。
s x , sy是 x 和 y 的样品标准偏差。
类名：PearsonCorrelationSimilarity原理：用来反映两个变量线性相关程度的统计量范围：[-1,1]，绝对值越大，说明相关性越强，负相关对于推荐的意义小。
说明：1、不考虑重叠的数量；2、如果只有一项重叠，无法计算相似性（计算过程被除数有n-1）；3、如果重叠的值都相等，也无法计算相似性（标准差为0，做除数）。
该相似度并不是最好的选择，也不是最坏的选择，只是因为其容易理解，在早期研究中经常被提起。
使用Pearson线性相关系数必须假设数据是成对地从正态分布中取得的，并且数据至少在逻辑范畴内必须是等间距的数据。
Mahout中，为皮尔森相关计算提供了一个扩展，通过增加一个枚举类型（Weighting）的参数来使得重叠数也成为计算相似度的影响因子。
1.2欧几里德距离（Euclidean Distance）最初用于计算欧几里德空间中两个点的距离，假设 x，y 是 n 维空间的两个点，它们之间的欧几里德距离是：可以看出，当 n=2 时，欧几里德距离就是平面上两个点的距离。
当用欧几里德距离表示相似度，一般采用以下公式进行转换：距离越小，相似度越大。
类名：EuclideanDistanceSimilarity原理：利用欧式距离d定义的相似度s，s=1 / (1+d)。

同义词判别模型同义词判别模型是一种自然语言处理（NLP）技术，旨在识别和判断语言中的同义词。
同义词是那些意思相同或非常接近的词汇，比如“快速”和“迅速”，在很多情况下可以互换使用而不改变句子的基本含义。
同义词判别模型的开发对于机器翻译、文本摘要、信息检索、问答系统等众多NLP 应用至关重要。
基本原理同义词判别模型基于这样一个假设：语境相似的词语往往具有相似的含义。
因此，这些模型通常依赖于大量的语料库数据来学习单词之间的语义关系。
通过分析单词在不同语境中的共现模式，模型能够捕捉到它们之间的语义相似度。
关键技术和方法1. 向量空间模型：将单词表示为高维空间中的向量，其中每一维对应一个特定的语境特征。
通过计算向量之间的余弦相似度，可以估计单词之间的语义相似性。
2. 词嵌入模型：通过训练将单词映射到连续的向量空间中，使得语义上相近的单词在向量空间中也彼此靠近。
3. 深度学习模型：例如循环神经网络、长短期记忆网络和Transformer架构，它们能够考虑上下文信息，并生成更为精确的词义表示。
4. 知识图谱和本体论：利用结构化的知识库，这些库包含了大量的词汇及其相互之间的关系，可以用来推断词汇间的同义关系。
挑战与问题开发同义词判别模型面临诸多挑战，包括词义消歧、多义性处理、跨语言差异等。
例如，许多单词在不同的语境下有不同的意义，模型需要能够准确地识别出这些不同的语境。
此外，由于文化和语言习惯的差异，不同语言之间的同义词可能没有直接的对应关系。
应用同义词判别模型的应用非常广泛，包括但不限于：- 机器翻译：选择最合适的目标语言词汇来翻译源语言中的单词。
- 搜索引擎优化：理解查询中的同义词，以返回更相关的搜索结果。
- **自动文摘和文本生成**：在不改变原意的情况下，使用多样化的词汇来创建流畅的文本。
- 问答系统：理解用户提问的不同表达方式，提供准确的答案。
发展趋势随着深度学习技术的发展，预训练语言模型（如BERT和其变体）在同义词判别任务上取得了显著进展。
贝叶斯网络的近似推断方法贝叶斯网络是一种用概率图模型来表示随机变量之间依赖关系的工具。
在实际应用中，我们常常需要对贝叶斯网络进行推断，即给定部分变量的取值，推断其他变量的分布。
然而，对于复杂的贝叶斯网络，精确推断往往是不可行的，因此需要采用近似推断方法。
马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛方法（MCMC）是一种常用的近似推断方法。
它通过构建马尔科夫链，利用马尔科夫链的平稳分布来逼近目标分布。
MCMC方法的优点在于能够处理任意形状的分布，但缺点是收敛速度慢，对参数敏感，并且需要大量的样本。
变分推断是另一种常用的近似推断方法。
它通过寻找一个与目标分布“最接近”的分布来逼近目标分布。
变分推断的优点在于收敛速度快，对参数不敏感，但缺点是只能处理一部分的分布形状。
在近年来，由于深度学习的发展，基于神经网络的近似推断方法也越来越受到关注。
变分自动编码器（VAE）就是一种基于神经网络的近似推断方法。
它通过将变分推断和神经网络结合起来，可以处理更加复杂的分布形状。
除了上述方法外，还有一些其他的近似推断方法，比如重要性采样、拉普拉斯近似等。
这些方法各有优缺点，适用于不同的问题和场景。
在实际应用中，选择合适的近似推断方法是非常重要的。
一方面，要考虑到目标分布的形状，是否能够用某种近似推断方法来逼近；另一方面，也要考虑到计算资源和时间的限制，选择合适的方法来平衡计算效率和推断准确度。
总的来说，贝叶斯网络的近似推断方法是一个非常有挑战性的课题，需要综合考虑概率统计、优化方法和计算机科学等多个领域的知识。
随着人工智能和机器学习的不断发展，相信在未来会有更多更好的近似推断方法出现，为贝叶斯网络的应用提供更加强大的支持。
与马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛法类似的方法马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛法（Markov Chain Monte Carlo, MCMC）是一种用于估计复杂概率分布的方法，广泛应用于统计学、机器学习和计算机视觉等领域。
然而，除了MCMC之外，还存在一些与之类似的方法，本文将介绍其中的几种。
1. 重要性采样（Importance Sampling）重要性采样是一种基于蒙特卡洛方法的统计估计方法，用于计算一个概率分布的期望值。
其核心思想是通过从一个已知的简单分布中采样，来估计一个复杂的目标分布的期望值。
与MCMC类似，重要性采样也利用随机采样的方式来估计目标分布的特征。
然而，与MCMC不同的是，重要性采样不需要满足马尔可夫链的平稳性质，因此在某些情况下更加高效。
2. 随机优化方法（Stochastic Optimization）随机优化方法是一类基于随机采样的优化算法，用于解决无法直接求解的优化问题。
与MCMC类似，随机优化方法也利用随机采样的方式来估计优化目标函数的值。
不同的是，随机优化方法更加关注优化问题本身，通过随机采样来探索优化空间，并更新优化参数以寻找最优解。
在大规模数据和高维优化问题中，随机优化方法通常比传统的优化算法更加高效。
3. 变分贝叶斯方法（Variational Bayesian Methods）变分贝叶斯方法是一种基于变分推断的概率建模方法，用于近似推断复杂的概率分布。
与MCMC类似，变分贝叶斯方法也通过随机采样的方式来近似复杂的后验分布。
然而，变分贝叶斯方法更加注重推断过程的优化，通过引入一个近似分布来近似后验分布，并通过优化近似分布的参数来逼近真实后验分布。
相比于MCMC，变分贝叶斯方法通常具有更快的收敛速度和更好的可解释性。
4. 重要性抽样平均（Importance Sampling Average）重要性抽样平均是一种基于随机抽样的估计方法，用于计算概率分布的平均值。
与MCMC类似，重要性抽样平均也利用随机采样的方式来估计目标分布的特征。
贝叶斯网络是一种用来描述随机变量之间依赖关系的图模型，也是一种用来进行概率推断的工具。
在实际应用中，贝叶斯网络可以帮助我们对未知变量进行推断，从而做出更加合理的决策。
然而，精确的贝叶斯推断通常需要计算复杂的概率分布，这在实际问题中往往是不可行的。
因此，近似推断方法成为了贝叶斯网络研究的重要内容之一。
一、蒙特卡洛方法蒙特卡洛方法是一种常见的近似推断方法。
它通过从概率分布中抽取大量的样本来近似计算分布的期望值。
在贝叶斯网络中，蒙特卡洛方法可以用来对后验分布进行近似推断。
具体来说，我们可以通过抽取大量的样本来近似计算后验概率分布，从而得到对未知变量的推断结果。
蒙特卡洛方法的优点是简单易行，而且在一定条件下可以得到较为精确的近似结果。
但是，它也存在着计算量大、收敛速度慢等缺点，特别是在高维问题中往往难以有效应用。
二、变分推断方法变分推断方法是另一种常见的近似推断方法。
它通过寻找一个与真实后验分布相近的分布来进行推断。
在贝叶斯网络中，变分推断方法可以通过最大化一个变分下界来近似计算后验分布。
具体来说，我们可以假设一个参数化的分布族，然后寻找一个参数使得该分布在KL散度意义下与真实后验分布最为接近。
变分推断方法的优点是可以通过参数化的方式来近似计算后验分布，从而在一定程度上减少计算量。
但是，它也存在着对分布族的选择敏感、局部最优解等问题。
三、马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛方法马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛方法是一种结合了蒙特卡洛方法和马尔科夫链的近似推断方法。
它通过构建一个转移核函数来对后验分布进行采样，从而得到对未知变量的推断结果。
在贝叶斯网络中，马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛方法可以用来对后验分布进行采样。
具体来说，我们可以构建一个马尔科夫链，使得其平稳分布为真实后验分布，然后通过该链进行采样。
马尔科夫链蒙特卡洛方法的优点是可以通过马尔科夫链的方式来进行采样，从而在一定程度上减少计算量。
但是，它也存在着收敛速度慢、样本自相关等问题，特别是在高维问题中往往难以有效应用。
相似性搜索算法在生物信息学中的应用随着计算机技术和生物学的快速发展，生物信息学已经成为一个非常重要的领域。
生物信息学可以帮助我们更好地理解生命，探究生物进化和生命的机制。
生物信息学需要处理大量的生物数据，其中最重要的就是搜索和比对DNA、RNA和蛋白质序列。
在这个领域，相似性搜索算法起到了至关重要的作用。
什么是相似性搜索算法？相似性搜索算法是用于寻找基因或蛋白质序列之间相似性的一种计算机算法。
它可以在大量的基因或蛋白质数据中快速地搜索出与目标序列相似的其他序列。
目前，相似性搜索算法主要分为三种类型：序列比较、模式搜索、和概率算法。
序列比较算法序列比较算法是最常用的相似性搜索算法之一。
它的基本思路是将两个序列对齐，然后计算它们之间的差异。
在两个序列中，相同的碱基或氨基酸会获得更高的分数，而不同的碱基或氨基酸则会获得较低的分数。
整个序列的相似性分数是两个序列中匹配的分数之和，除以整个序列的长度。
近年来，最常用的序列比较算法是Smith-Waterman和Needleman-Wunsch算法。
这两个算法的目标都是找到两个序列之间的最佳比对。
执行这些算法需要计算一个得分矩阵，然后根据得分矩阵构建一个路径图。
从路径图中可以得到最佳比对。
模式搜索算法模式搜索算法主要用于识别序列中的特定模式。
这些模式可以是突变体、Szeged索引或DNA序列中的重复区域。
模式搜索算法通常利用字符串匹配算法来搜索模式。
这些算法通常使用“k-mer”模式，其将序列切割成k个相邻的碱基或氨基酸。
其中，最常用的模式搜索算法是基于Rabin-Karp算法的 k-mer 算法，其将整个序列映射到一个数字上，然后将这个数字与目标 k-mer 的数字进行比较。
如果它们相等，那么找到了一个匹配。
一个 k-mer 的位移是相邻 k-mer 的位移加上 k。
在整个序列上执行 k-mer 算法通常需要更少的时间和资源。
概率算法概率算法可以帮助我们确定序列之间的相似性。
A Survey of Clustering Data Mining TechniquesPavel BerkhinYahoo!,Inc.pberkhin@Summary.Clustering is the division of data into groups of similar objects.It dis-regards some details in exchange for data simplifirmally,clustering can be viewed as data modeling concisely summarizing the data,and,therefore,it re-lates to many disciplines from statistics to numerical analysis.Clustering plays an important role in a broad range of applications,from information retrieval to CRM. Such applications usually deal with large datasets and many attributes.Exploration of such data is a subject of data mining.This survey concentrates on clustering algorithms from a data mining perspective.1IntroductionThe goal of this survey is to provide a comprehensive review of different clus-tering techniques in data mining.Clustering is a division of data into groups of similar objects.Each group,called a cluster,consists of objects that are similar to one another and dissimilar to objects of other groups.When repre-senting data with fewer clusters necessarily loses certainfine details(akin to lossy data compression),but achieves simplification.It represents many data objects by few clusters,and hence,it models data by its clusters.Data mod-eling puts clustering in a historical perspective rooted in mathematics,sta-tistics,and numerical analysis.From a machine learning perspective clusters correspond to hidden patterns,the search for clusters is unsupervised learn-ing,and the resulting system represents a data concept.Therefore,clustering is unsupervised learning of a hidden data concept.Data mining applications add to a general picture three complications:(a)large databases,(b)many attributes,(c)attributes of different types.This imposes on a data analysis se-vere computational requirements.Data mining applications include scientific data exploration,information retrieval,text mining,spatial databases,Web analysis,CRM,marketing,medical diagnostics,computational biology,and many others.They present real challenges to classic clustering algorithms. These challenges led to the emergence of powerful broadly applicable data2Pavel Berkhinmining clustering methods developed on the foundation of classic techniques.They are subject of this survey.1.1NotationsTo fix the context and clarify terminology,consider a dataset X consisting of data points (i.e.,objects ,instances ,cases ,patterns ,tuples ,transactions )x i =(x i 1,···,x id ),i =1:N ,in attribute space A ,where each component x il ∈A l ,l =1:d ,is a numerical or nominal categorical attribute (i.e.,feature ,variable ,dimension ,component ,field ).For a discussion of attribute data types see [106].Such point-by-attribute data format conceptually corresponds to a N ×d matrix and is used by a majority of algorithms reviewed below.However,data of other formats,such as variable length sequences and heterogeneous data,are not uncommon.The simplest subset in an attribute space is a direct Cartesian product of sub-ranges C = C l ⊂A ,C l ⊂A l ,called a segment (i.e.,cube ,cell ,region ).A unit is an elementary segment whose sub-ranges consist of a single category value,or of a small numerical bin.Describing the numbers of data points per every unit represents an extreme case of clustering,a histogram .This is a very expensive representation,and not a very revealing er driven segmentation is another commonly used practice in data exploration that utilizes expert knowledge regarding the importance of certain sub-domains.Unlike segmentation,clustering is assumed to be automatic,and so it is a machine learning technique.The ultimate goal of clustering is to assign points to a finite system of k subsets (clusters).Usually (but not always)subsets do not intersect,and their union is equal to a full dataset with the possible exception of outliersX =C 1 ··· C k C outliers ,C i C j =0,i =j.1.2Clustering Bibliography at GlanceGeneral references regarding clustering include [110],[205],[116],[131],[63],[72],[165],[119],[75],[141],[107],[91].A very good introduction to contem-porary data mining clustering techniques can be found in the textbook [106].There is a close relationship between clustering and many other fields.Clustering has always been used in statistics [10]and science [158].The clas-sic introduction into pattern recognition framework is given in [64].Typical applications include speech and character recognition.Machine learning clus-tering algorithms were applied to image segmentation and computer vision[117].For statistical approaches to pattern recognition see [56]and [85].Clus-tering can be viewed as a density estimation problem.This is the subject of traditional multivariate statistical estimation [197].Clustering is also widelyA Survey of Clustering Data Mining Techniques3 used for data compression in image processing,which is also known as vec-tor quantization[89].Datafitting in numerical analysis provides still another venue in data modeling[53].This survey’s emphasis is on clustering in data mining.Such clustering is characterized by large datasets with many attributes of different types. Though we do not even try to review particular applications,many important ideas are related to the specificfields.Clustering in data mining was brought to life by intense developments in information retrieval and text mining[52], [206],[58],spatial database applications,for example,GIS or astronomical data,[223],[189],[68],sequence and heterogeneous data analysis[43],Web applications[48],[111],[81],DNA analysis in computational biology[23],and many others.They resulted in a large amount of application-specific devel-opments,but also in some general techniques.These techniques and classic clustering algorithms that relate to them are surveyed below.1.3Plan of Further PresentationClassification of clustering algorithms is neither straightforward,nor canoni-cal.In reality,different classes of algorithms overlap.Traditionally clustering techniques are broadly divided in hierarchical and partitioning.Hierarchical clustering is further subdivided into agglomerative and divisive.The basics of hierarchical clustering include Lance-Williams formula,idea of conceptual clustering,now classic algorithms SLINK,COBWEB,as well as newer algo-rithms CURE and CHAMELEON.We survey these algorithms in the section Hierarchical Clustering.While hierarchical algorithms gradually(dis)assemble points into clusters (as crystals grow),partitioning algorithms learn clusters directly.In doing so they try to discover clusters either by iteratively relocating points between subsets,or by identifying areas heavily populated with data.Algorithms of thefirst kind are called Partitioning Relocation Clustering. They are further classified into probabilistic clustering(EM framework,al-gorithms SNOB,AUTOCLASS,MCLUST),k-medoids methods(algorithms PAM,CLARA,CLARANS,and its extension),and k-means methods(differ-ent schemes,initialization,optimization,harmonic means,extensions).Such methods concentrate on how well pointsfit into their clusters and tend to build clusters of proper convex shapes.Partitioning algorithms of the second type are surveyed in the section Density-Based Partitioning.They attempt to discover dense connected com-ponents of data,which areflexible in terms of their shape.Density-based connectivity is used in the algorithms DBSCAN,OPTICS,DBCLASD,while the algorithm DENCLUE exploits space density functions.These algorithms are less sensitive to outliers and can discover clusters of irregular shape.They usually work with low-dimensional numerical data,known as spatial data. Spatial objects could include not only points,but also geometrically extended objects(algorithm GDBSCAN).4Pavel BerkhinSome algorithms work with data indirectly by constructing summaries of data over the attribute space subsets.They perform space segmentation and then aggregate appropriate segments.We discuss them in the section Grid-Based Methods.They frequently use hierarchical agglomeration as one phase of processing.Algorithms BANG,STING,WaveCluster,and FC are discussed in this section.Grid-based methods are fast and handle outliers well.Grid-based methodology is also used as an intermediate step in many other algorithms (for example,CLIQUE,MAFIA).Categorical data is intimately connected with transactional databases.The concept of a similarity alone is not sufficient for clustering such data.The idea of categorical data co-occurrence comes to the rescue.The algorithms ROCK,SNN,and CACTUS are surveyed in the section Co-Occurrence of Categorical Data.The situation gets even more aggravated with the growth of the number of items involved.To help with this problem the effort is shifted from data clustering to pre-clustering of items or categorical attribute values. Development based on hyper-graph partitioning and the algorithm STIRR exemplify this approach.Many other clustering techniques are developed,primarily in machine learning,that either have theoretical significance,are used traditionally out-side the data mining community,or do notfit in previously outlined categories. The boundary is blurred.In the section Other Developments we discuss the emerging direction of constraint-based clustering,the important researchfield of graph partitioning,and the relationship of clustering to supervised learning, gradient descent,artificial neural networks,and evolutionary methods.Data Mining primarily works with large databases.Clustering large datasets presents scalability problems reviewed in the section Scalability and VLDB Extensions.Here we talk about algorithms like DIGNET,about BIRCH and other data squashing techniques,and about Hoffding or Chernoffbounds.Another trait of real-life data is high dimensionality.Corresponding de-velopments are surveyed in the section Clustering High Dimensional Data. The trouble comes from a decrease in metric separation when the dimension grows.One approach to dimensionality reduction uses attributes transforma-tions(DFT,PCA,wavelets).Another way to address the problem is through subspace clustering(algorithms CLIQUE,MAFIA,ENCLUS,OPTIGRID, PROCLUS,ORCLUS).Still another approach clusters attributes in groups and uses their derived proxies to cluster objects.This double clustering is known as co-clustering.Issues common to different clustering methods are overviewed in the sec-tion General Algorithmic Issues.We talk about assessment of results,de-termination of appropriate number of clusters to build,data preprocessing, proximity measures,and handling of outliers.For reader’s convenience we provide a classification of clustering algorithms closely followed by this survey:•Hierarchical MethodsA Survey of Clustering Data Mining Techniques5Agglomerative AlgorithmsDivisive Algorithms•Partitioning Relocation MethodsProbabilistic ClusteringK-medoids MethodsK-means Methods•Density-Based Partitioning MethodsDensity-Based Connectivity ClusteringDensity Functions Clustering•Grid-Based Methods•Methods Based on Co-Occurrence of Categorical Data•Other Clustering TechniquesConstraint-Based ClusteringGraph PartitioningClustering Algorithms and Supervised LearningClustering Algorithms in Machine Learning•Scalable Clustering Algorithms•Algorithms For High Dimensional DataSubspace ClusteringCo-Clustering Techniques1.4Important IssuesThe properties of clustering algorithms we are primarily concerned with in data mining include:•Type of attributes algorithm can handle•Scalability to large datasets•Ability to work with high dimensional data•Ability tofind clusters of irregular shape•Handling outliers•Time complexity(we frequently simply use the term complexity)•Data order dependency•Labeling or assignment(hard or strict vs.soft or fuzzy)•Reliance on a priori knowledge and user defined parameters •Interpretability of resultsRealistically,with every algorithm we discuss only some of these properties. The list is in no way exhaustive.For example,as appropriate,we also discuss algorithms ability to work in pre-defined memory buffer,to restart,and to provide an intermediate solution.6Pavel Berkhin2Hierarchical ClusteringHierarchical clustering builds a cluster hierarchy or a tree of clusters,also known as a dendrogram.Every cluster node contains child clusters;sibling clusters partition the points covered by their common parent.Such an ap-proach allows exploring data on different levels of granularity.Hierarchical clustering methods are categorized into agglomerative(bottom-up)and divi-sive(top-down)[116],[131].An agglomerative clustering starts with one-point (singleton)clusters and recursively merges two or more of the most similar clusters.A divisive clustering starts with a single cluster containing all data points and recursively splits the most appropriate cluster.The process contin-ues until a stopping criterion(frequently,the requested number k of clusters) is achieved.Advantages of hierarchical clustering include:•Flexibility regarding the level of granularity•Ease of handling any form of similarity or distance•Applicability to any attribute typesDisadvantages of hierarchical clustering are related to:•Vagueness of termination criteria•Most hierarchical algorithms do not revisit(intermediate)clusters once constructed.The classic approaches to hierarchical clustering are presented in the sub-section Linkage Metrics.Hierarchical clustering based on linkage metrics re-sults in clusters of proper(convex)shapes.Active contemporary efforts to build cluster systems that incorporate our intuitive concept of clusters as con-nected components of arbitrary shape,including the algorithms CURE and CHAMELEON,are surveyed in the subsection Hierarchical Clusters of Arbi-trary Shapes.Divisive techniques based on binary taxonomies are presented in the subsection Binary Divisive Partitioning.The subsection Other Devel-opments contains information related to incremental learning,model-based clustering,and cluster refinement.In hierarchical clustering our regular point-by-attribute data representa-tion frequently is of secondary importance.Instead,hierarchical clustering frequently deals with the N×N matrix of distances(dissimilarities)or sim-ilarities between training points sometimes called a connectivity matrix.So-called linkage metrics are constructed from elements of this matrix.The re-quirement of keeping a connectivity matrix in memory is unrealistic.To relax this limitation different techniques are used to sparsify(introduce zeros into) the connectivity matrix.This can be done by omitting entries smaller than a certain threshold,by using only a certain subset of data representatives,or by keeping with each point only a certain number of its nearest neighbors(for nearest neighbor chains see[177]).Notice that the way we process the original (dis)similarity matrix and construct a linkage metric reflects our a priori ideas about the data model.A Survey of Clustering Data Mining Techniques7With the(sparsified)connectivity matrix we can associate the weighted connectivity graph G(X,E)whose vertices X are data points,and edges E and their weights are defined by the connectivity matrix.This establishes a connection between hierarchical clustering and graph partitioning.One of the most striking developments in hierarchical clustering is the algorithm BIRCH.It is discussed in the section Scalable VLDB Extensions.Hierarchical clustering initializes a cluster system as a set of singleton clusters(agglomerative case)or a single cluster of all points(divisive case) and proceeds iteratively merging or splitting the most appropriate cluster(s) until the stopping criterion is achieved.The appropriateness of a cluster(s) for merging or splitting depends on the(dis)similarity of cluster(s)elements. This reflects a general presumption that clusters consist of similar points.An important example of dissimilarity between two points is the distance between them.To merge or split subsets of points rather than individual points,the dis-tance between individual points has to be generalized to the distance between subsets.Such a derived proximity measure is called a linkage metric.The type of a linkage metric significantly affects hierarchical algorithms,because it re-flects a particular concept of closeness and connectivity.Major inter-cluster linkage metrics[171],[177]include single link,average link,and complete link. The underlying dissimilarity measure(usually,distance)is computed for every pair of nodes with one node in thefirst set and another node in the second set.A specific operation such as minimum(single link),average(average link),or maximum(complete link)is applied to pair-wise dissimilarity measures:d(C1,C2)=Op{d(x,y),x∈C1,y∈C2}Early examples include the algorithm SLINK[199],which implements single link(Op=min),Voorhees’method[215],which implements average link (Op=Avr),and the algorithm CLINK[55],which implements complete link (Op=max).It is related to the problem offinding the Euclidean minimal spanning tree[224]and has O(N2)complexity.The methods using inter-cluster distances defined in terms of pairs of nodes(one in each respective cluster)are called graph methods.They do not use any cluster representation other than a set of points.This name naturally relates to the connectivity graph G(X,E)introduced above,because every data partition corresponds to a graph partition.Such methods can be augmented by so-called geometric methods in which a cluster is represented by its central point.Under the assumption of numerical attributes,the center point is defined as a centroid or an average of two cluster centroids subject to agglomeration.It results in centroid,median,and minimum variance linkage metrics.All of the above linkage metrics can be derived from the Lance-Williams updating formula[145],d(C iC j,C k)=a(i)d(C i,C k)+a(j)d(C j,C k)+b·d(C i,C j)+c|d(C i,C k)−d(C j,C k)|.8Pavel BerkhinHere a,b,c are coefficients corresponding to a particular linkage.This formula expresses a linkage metric between a union of the two clusters and the third cluster in terms of underlying nodes.The Lance-Williams formula is crucial to making the dis(similarity)computations feasible.Surveys of linkage metrics can be found in [170][54].When distance is used as a base measure,linkage metrics capture inter-cluster proximity.However,a similarity-based view that results in intra-cluster connectivity considerations is also used,for example,in the original average link agglomeration (Group-Average Method)[116].Under reasonable assumptions,such as reducibility condition (graph meth-ods satisfy this condition),linkage metrics methods suffer from O N 2 time complexity [177].Despite the unfavorable time complexity,these algorithms are widely used.As an example,the algorithm AGNES (AGlomerative NESt-ing)[131]is used in S-Plus.When the connectivity N ×N matrix is sparsified,graph methods directly dealing with the connectivity graph G can be used.In particular,hierarchical divisive MST (Minimum Spanning Tree)algorithm is based on graph parti-tioning [116].2.1Hierarchical Clusters of Arbitrary ShapesFor spatial data,linkage metrics based on Euclidean distance naturally gener-ate clusters of convex shapes.Meanwhile,visual inspection of spatial images frequently discovers clusters with curvy appearance.Guha et al.[99]introduced the hierarchical agglomerative clustering algo-rithm CURE (Clustering Using REpresentatives).This algorithm has a num-ber of novel features of general importance.It takes special steps to handle outliers and to provide labeling in assignment stage.It also uses two techniques to achieve scalability:data sampling (section 8),and data partitioning.CURE creates p partitions,so that fine granularity clusters are constructed in parti-tions first.A major feature of CURE is that it represents a cluster by a fixed number,c ,of points scattered around it.The distance between two clusters used in the agglomerative process is the minimum of distances between two scattered representatives.Therefore,CURE takes a middle approach between the graph (all-points)methods and the geometric (one centroid)methods.Single and average link closeness are replaced by representatives’aggregate closeness.Selecting representatives scattered around a cluster makes it pos-sible to cover non-spherical shapes.As before,agglomeration continues until the requested number k of clusters is achieved.CURE employs one additional trick:originally selected scattered points are shrunk to the geometric centroid of the cluster by a user-specified factor α.Shrinkage suppresses the affect of outliers;outliers happen to be located further from the cluster centroid than the other scattered representatives.CURE is capable of finding clusters of different shapes and sizes,and it is insensitive to outliers.Because CURE uses sampling,estimation of its complexity is not straightforward.For low-dimensional data authors provide a complexity estimate of O (N 2sample )definedA Survey of Clustering Data Mining Techniques9 in terms of a sample size.More exact bounds depend on input parameters: shrink factorα,number of representative points c,number of partitions p,and a sample size.Figure1(a)illustrates agglomeration in CURE.Three clusters, each with three representatives,are shown before and after the merge and shrinkage.Two closest representatives are connected.While the algorithm CURE works with numerical attributes(particularly low dimensional spatial data),the algorithm ROCK developed by the same researchers[100]targets hierarchical agglomerative clustering for categorical attributes.It is reviewed in the section Co-Occurrence of Categorical Data.The hierarchical agglomerative algorithm CHAMELEON[127]uses the connectivity graph G corresponding to the K-nearest neighbor model spar-sification of the connectivity matrix:the edges of K most similar points to any given point are preserved,the rest are pruned.CHAMELEON has two stages.In thefirst stage small tight clusters are built to ignite the second stage.This involves a graph partitioning[129].In the second stage agglomer-ative process is performed.It utilizes measures of relative inter-connectivity RI(C i,C j)and relative closeness RC(C i,C j);both are locally normalized by internal interconnectivity and closeness of clusters C i and C j.In this sense the modeling is dynamic:it depends on data locally.Normalization involves certain non-obvious graph operations[129].CHAMELEON relies heavily on graph partitioning implemented in the library HMETIS(see the section6). Agglomerative process depends on user provided thresholds.A decision to merge is made based on the combinationRI(C i,C j)·RC(C i,C j)αof local measures.The algorithm does not depend on assumptions about the data model.It has been proven tofind clusters of different shapes,densities, and sizes in2D(two-dimensional)space.It has a complexity of O(Nm+ Nlog(N)+m2log(m),where m is the number of sub-clusters built during the first initialization phase.Figure1(b)(analogous to the one in[127])clarifies the difference with CURE.It presents a choice of four clusters(a)-(d)for a merge.While CURE would merge clusters(a)and(b),CHAMELEON makes intuitively better choice of merging(c)and(d).2.2Binary Divisive PartitioningIn linguistics,information retrieval,and document clustering applications bi-nary taxonomies are very useful.Linear algebra methods,based on singular value decomposition(SVD)are used for this purpose in collaborativefilter-ing and information retrieval[26].Application of SVD to hierarchical divisive clustering of document collections resulted in the PDDP(Principal Direction Divisive Partitioning)algorithm[31].In our notations,object x is a docu-ment,l th attribute corresponds to a word(index term),and a matrix X entry x il is a measure(e.g.TF-IDF)of l-term frequency in a document x.PDDP constructs SVD decomposition of the matrix10Pavel Berkhin(a)Algorithm CURE (b)Algorithm CHAMELEONFig.1.Agglomeration in Clusters of Arbitrary Shapes(X −e ¯x ),¯x =1Ni =1:N x i ,e =(1,...,1)T .This algorithm bisects data in Euclidean space by a hyperplane that passes through data centroid orthogonal to the eigenvector with the largest singular value.A k -way split is also possible if the k largest singular values are consid-ered.Bisecting is a good way to categorize documents and it yields a binary tree.When k -means (2-means)is used for bisecting,the dividing hyperplane is orthogonal to the line connecting the two centroids.The comparative study of SVD vs.k -means approaches [191]can be used for further references.Hier-archical divisive bisecting k -means was proven [206]to be preferable to PDDP for document clustering.While PDDP or 2-means are concerned with how to split a cluster,the problem of which cluster to split is also important.Simple strategies are:(1)split each node at a given level,(2)split the cluster with highest cardinality,and,(3)split the cluster with the largest intra-cluster variance.All three strategies have problems.For a more detailed analysis of this subject and better strategies,see [192].2.3Other DevelopmentsOne of early agglomerative clustering algorithms,Ward’s method [222],is based not on linkage metric,but on an objective function used in k -means.The merger decision is viewed in terms of its effect on the objective function.The popular hierarchical clustering algorithm for categorical data COB-WEB [77]has two very important qualities.First,it utilizes incremental learn-ing.Instead of following divisive or agglomerative approaches,it dynamically builds a dendrogram by processing one data point at a time.Second,COB-WEB is an example of conceptual or model-based learning.This means that each cluster is considered as a model that can be described intrinsically,rather than as a collection of points assigned to it.COBWEB’s dendrogram is calleda classification tree.Each tree node(cluster)C is associated with the condi-tional probabilities for categorical attribute-values pairs,P r(x l=νlp|C),l=1:d,p=1:|A l|.This easily can be recognized as a C-specific Na¨ıve Bayes classifier.During the classification tree construction,every new point is descended along the tree and the tree is potentially updated(by an insert/split/merge/create op-eration).Decisions are based on the category utility[49]CU{C1,...,C k}=1j=1:kCU(C j)CU(C j)=l,p(P r(x l=νlp|C j)2−(P r(x l=νlp)2.Category utility is similar to the GINI index.It rewards clusters C j for in-creases in predictability of the categorical attribute valuesνlp.Being incre-mental,COBWEB is fast with a complexity of O(tN),though it depends non-linearly on tree characteristics packed into a constant t.There is a similar incremental hierarchical algorithm for all numerical attributes called CLAS-SIT[88].CLASSIT associates normal distributions with cluster nodes.Both algorithms can result in highly unbalanced trees.Chiu et al.[47]proposed another conceptual or model-based approach to hierarchical clustering.This development contains several different use-ful features,such as the extension of scalability preprocessing to categori-cal attributes,outliers handling,and a two-step strategy for monitoring the number of clusters including BIC(defined below).A model associated with a cluster covers both numerical and categorical attributes and constitutes a blend of Gaussian and multinomial models.Denote corresponding multivari-ate parameters byθ.With every cluster C we associate a logarithm of its (classification)likelihoodl C=x i∈Clog(p(x i|θ))The algorithm uses maximum likelihood estimates for parameterθ.The dis-tance between two clusters is defined(instead of linkage metric)as a decrease in log-likelihoodd(C1,C2)=l C1+l C2−l C1∪C2caused by merging of the two clusters under consideration.The agglomerative process continues until the stopping criterion is satisfied.As such,determina-tion of the best k is automatic.This algorithm has the commercial implemen-tation(in SPSS Clementine).The complexity of the algorithm is linear in N for the summarization phase.Traditional hierarchical clustering does not change points membership in once assigned clusters due to its greedy approach:after a merge or a split is selected it is not refined.Though COBWEB does reconsider its decisions,its。

空间回归方法
空间回归方法是统计学和地理信息系统（GIS）中常用的一种分析手段，用于研究空间数据中的依赖关系。
它在传统线性回归模型的基础上，考虑了观测值之间的空间相关性，即临近的观测点之间可能存在某种形式的空间依赖或自相关。
以下是一些主要的空间回归方法：
1.空间滞后模型(Spatial Lag Model, SLM)：在SLM中，因变量是其他空间位置上观测值的加权平均（通常是邻近区域的影响），模型中包含一个空间滞后项来捕捉这种空间依赖性。
2.空间误差模型(Spatial Error Model, SEM)： SEM认为残差项之间存在空间自相关，也就是说，一个地区的误差可能会受到其相邻地区误差的影响。
因此，在模型中引入了一个空间误差项以校正这种影响。
3.空间杜宾模型(Spatial Durbin Model, SDM)： SDM结合了上述两种模型的特点，既考虑了因变量的空间滞后效应，又考虑了解释变量对相邻区域的影响以及空间误差项。
4.地理加权回归(Geographically Weighted Regression, GWR)： GWR是一种局部回归方法，允许回归系数在空间上发生变化，从而反映出不同地理位置上的关系可能存在的异质性。
5.马尔可夫链蒙特卡洛法(Markov Chain Monte Carlo, MCMC) 和贝叶斯空间回归：这种方法通过构建复杂的概率模型，并使用MCMC等采样技术进行参数估计，可以处理复杂的空间结构和不确定性问题。
以上这些空间回归方法通常需要借助专门的统计软件如R、GeoDa、ArcGIS等实现。
Collaborative filteringCollaborative filtering，即协同过滤，是⼀种新颖的技术。
最早于1989年就提出来了，直到21世纪才得到产业性的应⽤。
应⽤上的代表在国外有，Last.fm，Digg等等。
最近由于毕业论⽂的原因，开始研究这个题⽬，看了⼀个多星期的论⽂与相关资料之后，决定写篇总结来总结⼀下最近这段时间资料收集的成果。
在微软1998年的那篇关于协同过滤的论⽂[1]中，将协同过滤分成了两个流派，⼀个是Memory-Based，⼀个是Model-Based。
关于Memory-Based的算法，就是利⽤⽤户在系统中的操作记录来⽣成相关的推荐结果的⼀种⽅法，主要也分成两种⽅法，⼀种是User-Based，即是利⽤⽤户与⽤户之间的相似性，⽣成最近的邻居，当需要推荐的时候，从最近的邻居中得到推荐得分最⾼的⼏篇⽂章，⽤作推荐；另外⼀种是Item-Based，即是基于item之间的关系，针对item来作推荐，即是使⽤这种⽅法，使⽤⼀种基本的⽅法来得到不俗的效果。
⽽实验结果也表明，Item-Based的做法⽐User-Based更有效[2]。
⽽对于Model-Based的算法，即是使⽤机器学习中的⼀些建模算法，在线下对于模型进⾏预计算，在线上能够快速得出结果。
主要使⽤的算法有 Bayesian belief nets , clustering , latent semantic , 最近⼏年⼜出现了使⽤SVM 等的CF算法。
最近⼏年⼜提出⼀种新的分类，content-based，即是对于item的内容进⾏分析，从⽽进⾏推荐。
⽽现阶段，⽐较优秀的⼀些应⽤算法，则是将以上⼏种⽅法，混合使⽤。
⽐较说Google News[3]，在它的系统中，使⽤了⼀种将Memory-Based与Model-Based两种⽅法混合的算法来处理。
在Google的那篇论⽂⾥⾯，它提到了如何构建⼀个⼤型的推荐系统，其中Google的⼀些⾼效的基础架构如：BigTable,MapReduce等得到很好的应⽤。
