Dynamic Spectral Clustering with Provable Approximation Guarantee

Steinar Laenen · He Sun


Abstract: This paper studies clustering algorithms for dynamically evolving graphs $\lbrace G_t\rbrace$, in which new edges (and potential new vertices) are added into a graph, and the underlying cluster structure of the graph can gradually change. The paper proves that, under some mild condition on the cluster-structure, the clusters of the final graph $G_T$ of $n_T$ vertices at time $T$ can be well approximated by a dynamic variant of the spectral clustering algorithm. The algorithm runs in amortised update time $O(1)$ and query time $o(n_T)$. Experimental studies on both synthetic and real-world datasets further confirm the practicality of our designed algorithm.
