Transformed Locally Linear Manifold Clustering

Transform learning is a relatively new analysis formulation for learning a basis to represent signals. This work incorporates the simplest subspace clustering formulation - Locally Linear Manifold Clustering, into the transform learning formulation. The core idea is to perform the clustering task in a transformed domain instead of processing directly the raw samples. The transform analysis step and the clustering are not done piecemeal but are performed jointly through the formulation of a coupled minimization problem. Comparison with state-of-the-art deep learning-based clustering methods and popular subspace clustering techniques shows that our formulation improves upon them.
