Orange: Louvain Clustering
Sumber: https://docs.biolab.si//3/visual-programming/widgets/unsupervised/louvainclustering.html
roups items using the Louvain clustering algorithm.
Input
Data: input dataset
Output
Data: dataset with cluster index as a class attribute Graph (with the Network addon): the weighted k-nearest neighbor graph
The widget first converts the input data into a k-nearest neighbor graph. To preserve the notions of distance, the Jaccard index for the number of shared neighbors is used to weight the edges. Finally, a modularity optimization community detection algorithm is applied to the graph to retrieve clusters of highly interconnected nodes. The widget outputs a new dataset in which the cluster index is used as a meta attribute.
- PCA processing is typically applied to the original data to remove noise.
- The distance metric is used for finding specified number of nearest neighbors.
- The number of nearest neighbors to use to form the KNN graph.
- Resolution is a parameter for the Louvain community detection algorithm that affects the size of the recovered clusters. Smaller resolutions recover smaller, and therefore a larger number of clusters, and conversely, larger values recover clusters containing more data points.
- When Apply Automatically is ticked, the widget will automatically communicate all changes. Alternatively, click Apply.
Contoh
Louvain Clustering converts the dataset into a graph, where it finds highly interconnected nodes. We can visualize the graph itself using the Network Explorer from the Network addon.
