Description:
finchpy 0.0.1
FINCH Clustering Algorithm
First Integer Neighbor Clustering Hierarchy Algorithm
A Python implementation of FINCH algorithm from the paper
Sarfraz, Saquib, Vivek Sharma, and Rainer Stiefelhagen. "Efficient parameter-free clustering using first neighbor relations." Proceedings of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2019.
This implementation is faster than the original implementation (see benchmark below). Further, our code deviates from the paper as it does not implement Algorithm 2, "Required Number of Clusters Mode".
Installation
The easiest way to install finchpy is by using pip :
pip install finchpy
How to use
from finch import FINCH
fin = finch()
fin.fit(data)
print(fin.partitions)
Demo Notebook: the following noteboook shows a demo of common features in this package - see Jupyter Notebook
Class Parameters
--metric string The used distance metric Default='euclidean'
--n_jobs int The number of processes Default=1
Methods
fit(X): Apply the FINCH algorithm.
fit_predict(X): Apply the FINCH algorithm and returns a reasonable partitioning labels based on the silhouette coefficient.
Benchmark
Here is a comparison of the performance of the finchpy implementation to the original ssarfraz Python implementation:
