> Title:
> Clustering is semidefinitely not that hard
>
> Abstract:
> In recent years, semidefinite programs (SDP) have been the subject of
> interesting research in the field of clustering. In many cases, these
> convex programs deliver the same answers as non-convex alternatives
> and come with a guarantee of optimality. In this talk, I will argue
> that SDP-KM, a popular semidefinite relaxation of K-means, can learn
> manifolds present in the data, something not possible with the
> original K-means formulation. To build an intuitive understanding of
> SDP-KM's manifold learning capabilities, I will present a theoretical
> analysis on an idealized dataset. Additionally, SDP-KM even segregates
> linearly non-separable manifolds. As generic SDP solvers are slow on
> large datasets, I will also discuss the suitability of efficient
> algorithms to SDP-KM. These features render SDP-KM a versatile and
> interesting tool for manifold learning while remaining amenable to
> theoretical analysis.
