Abstract:
Spectral clustering is one of the most popular algorithms to group high
dimensional data. It is easy to implement and computationally efficient.
Despite its popularity and successful applications, its theoretical
properties have not been fully understood. We show that spectral clustering
is minimax optimal in the Gaussian Mixture Model with isotropic covariance
matrix, when the number of clusters is fixed and the signal-to-noise ratio
is large enough. Spectral gap conditions are widely assumed in the
literature to analyze spectral clustering. On the contrary, we show that
these conditions are not needed.
