Mercer’s condition: To expand Kernel function K(x,y) into a dot product, i.e. K(x,y)= (x) (y), K(x, y) has to be positive semi-definite function, i.e., for any function f(x) whose is finite, the following inequality holds ( ) ( , ) ( ) 0dxdyf x K x y f y

Performance of Kernel k-means

Evaluation of the performance of clustering algorithms in kernel-induced feature space, Pattern Recognition, 2005

Limitations of Kernel k-means

• More complex than k-means

• Need to compute and store n x n kernel matrix

• Appropriate kernel function has to be determined

• Largest n that can be handled?

Limitations of Kernel k-means

• More complex than k-means

• Need to compute and store n x n kernel matrix

• Appropriate kernel function has to be determined

• Largest n that can be handled?

• Intel Xeon E7-8837 Processor (Q2’11), Oct-core, 2.8GHz, 4TB max memory

• < 1 million points with “single” precision numbers

• May take several days to only compute the kernel matrix

How to distribute k-means?

Two methods

• Distribute distance computation

k-means Clustering with MapReduce - I

Distribute the cost of distance computation

Cluster centers maintained in global memory

Divide points among map tasks

k-means Clustering with MapReduce - I

Map function

Find the closest center for data point

Intermediate output: Closest cluster index

Combine function

Partially sum the values of the points assigned to the same cluster, keep track of number of points in the cluster

Reduce function

Compute new centers from the output of combine function
