This is the code of the paper Kernel-Bounded Clustering: Achieving the Objective of Spectral Clustering without Eigendecomposition

Paper

Dependencies

---

Python

pip install kbc-clustering

Usage

---

from kbc import KBC
import numpy as np

X = np.random.rand(1000, 50)
model = KBC(k=5, tau=0.4, psi=64, random_state=42)
labels = model.fit_predict(X)

---

MATLAB R2023a: codes/demo_nss_kbc.m gives an example of clustering using $NSS$-KBC, and codes/EC_sample.m implements the $NSS$-KBC algorithm.
