Clustering via Hilbert space
Horn, David · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics
We discuss novel clustering methods that are based on mapping data points to a Hilbert space by means of a Gaussian kernel. The first method, support vector clustering (SVC), searches for the smallest sphere enclosing data images in Hilbert space. The second, quantum clustering (QC), searches for the minima of a potential function defined in such a Hilbert space.
