  1. class BisectingKMeans extends Logging

    A bisecting k-means algorithm based on the paper "A comparison of document clustering techniques" by Steinbach, Karypis, and Kumar, with modification to fit Spark.

    A bisecting k-means algorithm based on the paper "A comparison of document clustering techniques" by Steinbach, Karypis, and Kumar, with modification to fit Spark. The algorithm starts from a single cluster that contains all points. Iteratively it finds divisible clusters on the bottom level and bisects each of them using k-means, until there are k leaf clusters in total or no leaf clusters are divisible. The bisecting steps of clusters on the same level are grouped together to increase parallelism. If bisecting all divisible clusters on the bottom level would result more than k leaf clusters, larger clusters get higher priority.

  5. class GaussianMixture extends Serializable

    This class performs expectation maximization for multivariate Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs).

    This class performs expectation maximization for multivariate Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs). A GMM represents a composite distribution of independent Gaussian distributions with associated "mixing" weights specifying each's contribution to the composite.

    Given a set of sample points, this class will maximize the log-likelihood for a mixture of k Gaussians, iterating until the log-likelihood changes by less than convergenceTol, or until it has reached the max number of iterations. While this process is generally guaranteed to converge, it is not guaranteed to find a global optimum.

    Note

    This algorithm is limited in its number of features since it requires storing a covariance matrix which has size quadratic in the number of features. Even when the number of features does not exceed this limit, this algorithm may perform poorly on high-dimensional data. This is due to high-dimensional data (a) making it difficult to cluster at all (based on statistical/theoretical arguments) and (b) numerical issues with Gaussian distributions.

    StreamingKMeans provides methods for configuring a streaming k-means analysis, training the model on streaming, and using the model to make predictions on streaming data. See KMeansModel for details on algorithm and update rules.

    Use a builder pattern to construct a streaming k-means analysis in an application, like:

    val model = new StreamingKMeans()
      .setDecayFactor(0.5)
      .setK(3)
      .setRandomCenters(5, 100.0)

    StreamingKMeansModel extends MLlib's KMeansModel for streaming algorithms, so it can keep track of a continuously updated weight associated with each cluster, and also update the model by doing a single iteration of the standard k-means algorithm.

    StreamingKMeansModel extends MLlib's KMeansModel for streaming algorithms, so it can keep track of a continuously updated weight associated with each cluster, and also update the model by doing a single iteration of the standard k-means algorithm.

    The update algorithm uses the "mini-batch" KMeans rule, generalized to incorporate forgetfullness (i.e. decay). The update rule (for each cluster) is:

    $$ \begin{align} c_t+1 &= [(c_t * n_t * a) + (x_t * m_t)] / [n_t + m_t] \\ n_t+1 &= n_t * a + m_t \end{align} $$

    Where c_t is the previously estimated centroid for that cluster, n_t is the number of points assigned to it thus far, x_t is the centroid estimated on the current batch, and m_t is the number of points assigned to that centroid in the current batch.

    The decay factor 'a' scales the contribution of the clusters as estimated thus far, by applying a as a discount weighting on the current point when evaluating new incoming data. If a=1, all batches are weighted equally. If a=0, new centroids are determined entirely by recent data. Lower values correspond to more forgetting.

    Decay can optionally be specified by a half life and associated time unit. The time unit can either be a batch of data or a single data point. Considering data arrived at time t, the half life h is defined such that at time t + h the discount applied to the data from t is 0.5. The definition remains the same whether the time unit is given as batches or points.
