An Analysis of A Simple Method for Clustering Sparsely – The current method of clustering sparse data by using the unsupervised method of Monte-Carlo and Ferenc-Koch (CKOS) was motivated by the desire to discover the true data. This paper proposes a novel method combining a variational approximation and a clustering approach. The algorithm is based on a probabilistic theory of the space, and an efficient estimator with strong guarantees. The algorithm first predicts the clusters where the data are to be clustered, and performs statistical sampling for the whole data. Then, the probabilistic and variational analyses are connected and combined together to produce a sparse matrix. CKOS is based on the belief propagation of the Bayesian algorithm, which allows us to construct a sparse matrix (and the sparse matrix) for the data. To the best of our knowledge, CKOS is the first method for clustering sparse data with variational inference to be implemented by the Bayesian algorithm. The work on clustering data is a proof of the viability of this method, and demonstrates the usefulness of the Bayesian approach for sparse clustering.

We propose a general framework for inferring sparse signal from the sparse graph with a non-parametric model. We first present an approximation to some Bayesian non-parametric models with nonparametric features that are obtained from the sparse graph. We formulate the non-parametric model as a sparse matrix, which is shown to have the same structure and the same computational cost as a full graph, while being computationally comparable to a full graph. We show the validity of this approach on several benchmark datasets and give detailed examples of the proposed algorithm.
