public class CosineSilhouette
extends Object
1 - s where s is the cosine similarity between two points.
The total distance of the point X to the points $C_{i}$ belonging to the cluster $\Gamma$
is:
$$ \sum\limits_{i=1}^N d(X, C_{i} ) = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \Big( 1 - \frac{\sum\limits_{j=1}^D x_{j}c_{ij} }{ \|X\|\|C_{i}\|} \Big) = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N 1 - \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \sum\limits_{j=1}^D \frac{x_{j}}{\|X\|} \frac{c_{ij}}{\|C_{i}\|} = N - \sum\limits_{j=1}^D \frac{x_{j}}{\|X\|} \Big( \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \frac{c_{ij}}{\|C_{i}\|} \Big) $$
where $x_{j}$ is the j-th dimension of the point X and $c_{ij}$ is the j-th dimension
of the i-th point in cluster $\Gamma$.
Then, we can define the vector:
$$ \xi_{X} : \xi_{X i} = \frac{x_{i}}{\|X\|}, i = 1, ..., D $$
which can be precomputed for each point and the vector
$$ \Omega_{\Gamma} : \Omega_{\Gamma i} = \sum\limits_{j=1}^N \xi_{C_{j}i}, i = 1, ..., D $$
which can be precomputed too for each cluster $\Gamma$ by its points $C_{i}$.
With these definitions, the numerator becomes:
$$ N - \sum\limits_{j=1}^D \xi_{X j} \Omega_{\Gamma j} $$
Thus the average distance of a point X to the points of the cluster $\Gamma$ is:
$$ 1 - \frac{\sum\limits_{j=1}^D \xi_{X j} \Omega_{\Gamma j}}{N} $$
In the implementation, the precomputed values for the clusters are distributed among the worker nodes via broadcasted variables, because we can assume that the clusters are limited in number.
The main strengths of this algorithm are the low computational complexity and the intrinsic
parallelism. The precomputed information for each point and for each cluster can be computed
with a computational complexity which is O(N/W), where N is the number of points in the
dataset and W is the number of worker nodes. After that, every point can be analyzed
independently from the others.
For every point we need to compute the average distance to all the clusters. Since the formula
above requires O(D) operations, this phase has a computational complexity which is
O(C*D*N/W) where C is the number of clusters (which we assume quite low), D is the number
of dimensions, N is the number of points in the dataset and W is the number of worker
nodes.
