with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
82
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate

+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work

+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140

141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the

|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|

163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+

|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|

Python implementation of the **Links** high-dimensional online clustering algorithm, designed for unit vectors on the hypersphere S^(N-1).
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
## Overview
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Links is an online clustering algorithm designed to cluster high-dimensional unit vectors efficiently in real time as data streams in. Unlike traditional batch clustering algorithms (such as [SpectralCluster](https://github.com/wq2012/SpectralCluster) or k-means) that require concurrent access to all data points, Links assigns each new datum to a cluster immediately upon arrival with no knowledge of future vectors and no backtracking.

|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
### 1. Standard scikit-learn API
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
`LinksClusterer` follows the standard scikit-learn estimator interface (`fit`, `predict`, `fit_predict`, `partial_fit`):
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
```python
|
|
72
|
+
import numpy as np
|
|
73
|
+
from linkscluster import LinksClusterer
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
# Create synthetic unit embeddings (n_samples, n_features)
|
|
76
|
+
X = np.random.randn(500, 128)
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
# Initialize the clusterer
|
|
79
|
+
clusterer = LinksClusterer(
|
|
80
|
+
cluster_similarity_threshold=0.6, # Tc
|
|
81
|
+
subcluster_similarity_threshold=0.85, # Ts
|
|
82
|
+
pair_similarity_maximum=0.95, # Tp
|
|
83
|
+
)
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
# Fit and return cluster labels
|
|
86
|
+
labels = clusterer.fit_predict(X)
|
|
87
|
+
print(f"Number of clusters found: {clusterer.n_clusters_}")
|
|
88
|
+
print(f"Cluster labels: {labels}")
|
|
89
|
+
```
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### 2. Online Streaming API
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
For real-time streaming applications (e.g. processing incoming audio frames or video embeddings datum-by-datum):
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
```python
|
|
96
|
+
from linkscluster import LinksClusterer
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
clusterer = LinksClusterer(tc=0.6, ts=0.85, tp=0.95)
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
# Process vectors as they arrive in real time
|
|
101
|
+
for x in embedding_stream:
|
|
102
|
+
# Returns integer cluster ID immediately with zero backtracking
|
|
103
|
+
cluster_id = clusterer.predict_next(x)
|
|
104
|
+
print(f"Received vector assigned to cluster: {cluster_id}")
|
|
105
|
+
```
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
You can also use Python generators via `predict_stream`:
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
```python
|
|
110
|
+
for cluster_id in clusterer.predict_stream(embedding_stream):
|
|
111
|
+
handle_cluster_id(cluster_id)
|
|
112
|
+
```
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
Or batch incremental updates via `partial_fit`:
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```python
|
|
117
|
+
clusterer.partial_fit(mini_batch)
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
### 3. Online Labels vs. Final Labels
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
In Links, each vector is assigned a cluster ID upon arrival. Over time, as additional data reveals cluster topology, the internal graph representation can split or merge clusters:
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
```python
|
|
125
|
+
clusterer.fit(X)
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
# Labels assigned at arrival time (online mode)
|
|
128
|
+
online_labels = clusterer.online_labels_
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
# Revised cluster assignments reflecting subsequent splits and merges
|
|
131
|
+
final_labels = clusterer.final_labels_
|
|
132
|
+
```
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
### 4. Predefined Configurations
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
The package provides pre-tuned presets for common embedding domains:
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
```python
|
|
139
|
+
from linkscluster import configs
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
# General high-dimensional embeddings (Tc=0.5, Ts=0.8, Tp=1.0)
|
|
142
|
+
clusterer = configs.default_links_clusterer
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
# 128-dim FaceNet CNN face embeddings (Tc=0.6, Ts=0.85, Tp=0.95)
|
|
145
|
+
clusterer = configs.facenet_clusterer
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
# 256-dim LSTM GE2E voice embeddings (Tc=0.55, Ts=0.8, Tp=0.9)
|
|
148
|
+
clusterer = configs.ge2e_voice_clusterer
|
|
149
|
+
```
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+

|
|

153
|
+
## How It Works
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
### Two-Level Hierarchy
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
Links represents data using a two-level hierarchy:
|
|
158
|
+
- **Subclusters**: Indivisible nodes in a graph representing tight groups of vectors whose pairwise similarities exceed `Ts`.
|
|
159
|
+
- **Clusters**: Connected components in the graph of subclusters joined by edges.
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
This hierarchy scales with the number of *subclusters* rather than the number of vectors, enabling ultra-fast real-time operation.
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
### Algorithm Steps
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
1. **Cosine Similarity**: When a new vector `x` arrives, its cosine similarity to all active subcluster centroids is computed in a single vectorized matrix-vector multiplication:
|
|
166
|
+
```
|
|
167
|
+
J = argmax_j (x · μ_j)
|
|
168
|
+
```
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
2. **Subcluster Addition vs. New Subcluster**:
|
|
171
|
+
- If `x · μ_J >= Ts`: `x` is added to subcluster `J`, and its centroid is updated.
|
|
172
|
+
- If `x · μ_J < Ts`: a new subcluster containing just `x` is created. It is linked to subcluster `J` if `x · μ_J >= s(kJ)` (or `s̃(kJ)` with anisotropy); otherwise, it starts a new cluster.
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
3. **Subcluster Merging**: If updating subcluster `J` brings its centroid within `Ts` of an adjacent neighbor, the two subclusters merge recursively.
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
4. **Edge Validity & Cluster Splitting**: Edges incident to affected nodes are checked against the threshold `s(ki, kj)` (or `s̃(ki, kj)`). If an edge falls below the threshold, it is removed. If the removal severs the cluster, Links attempts to re-join the two components via a valid partner node; if none exists, the cluster permanently splits.
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
---
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
## Hyperparameters & Tuning
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
Links has three intuitive hyperparameters:
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
| Parameter | Symbol | Range | Description |
|
|
185
|
+
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
|
186
|
+
| `cluster_similarity_threshold` (or `tc`) | `Tc = cos(θc)` | `(0, 1)` | Proximity threshold for vectors belonging to the same cluster. |
|
|
187
|
+
| `subcluster_similarity_threshold` (or `ts`) | `Ts` | `(0, 1)` | Threshold for grouping vectors into tight subclusters (`Ts >= Tc`). |
|
|
188
|
+
| `pair_similarity_maximum` (or `tp`) | `Tp` | `(Tc^2, 1]` | Asymptotic similarity ceiling accounting for intra-cluster correlation and anisotropy. Default is `1.0` (isotropic). |
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
### Accuracy Evaluation
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
Clustering accuracy can be computed using the Hungarian algorithm bijection as described in Section 3.6 of the paper:
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
```python
|
|
195
|
+
from linkscluster import compute_accuracy
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
acc = compute_accuracy(ground_truth_labels, predicted_labels)
|
|
198
|
+
print(f"Hungarian Clustering Accuracy: {acc * 100:.2f}%")
|
|
199
|
+
```
|
|
200
|
+
|
|
201
|
+

|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
## Performance & Efficiency
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
Links is designed to be **ultra fast and efficient**:
|
|
206
|
+
- **Vectorized Distance Calculations**: Subcluster centroids are kept in contiguous memory for BLAS level-2 matrix-vector dot products (`_centroids @ x`), bypassing Python loop overhead.
|
|
207
|
+
- **O(1) Dynamic Subcluster Management**: Subcluster additions and deletions (merging) utilize swap-and-pop in the contiguous centroid matrix.
|
|
208
|
+
- **High Throughput**: Capable of clustering **>50,000 - 100,000 vectors per second** on standard CPU hardware.
|
|

|
+
|
|
212
|
+
## Running Tests
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
Run the test suite with coverage:
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
```bash
|
|
217
|
+
bash run_tests.sh
|
|
218
|
+
```
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
Or run directly with `unittest`:
|
|
221
|
+
|
|
222
|
+
```bash
|
|
223
|
+
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p "*_test.py"
|
|
224
|
+
```
|
|
225
|
+
|
|
226
|
+
Check code style:
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
```bash
|
|
229
|
+
flake8 --indent-size 2 --max-line-length 80 linkscluster tests
|
|
230
|
+
```
|

Python implementation of the **Links** high-dimensional online clustering algorithm, designed for unit vectors on the hypersphere S^(N-1).
|
|

|
+
|
|
10
|
+
## Overview
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
Links is an online clustering algorithm designed to cluster high-dimensional unit vectors efficiently in real time as data streams in. Unlike traditional batch clustering algorithms (such as [SpectralCluster](https://github.com/wq2012/SpectralCluster) or k-means) that require concurrent access to all data points, Links assigns each new datum to a cluster immediately upon arrival with no knowledge of future vectors and no backtracking.

|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
### 1. Standard scikit-learn API
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
`LinksClusterer` follows the standard scikit-learn estimator interface (`fit`, `predict`, `fit_predict`, `partial_fit`):
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
```python
|
|
47
|
+
import numpy as np
|
|
48
|
+
from linkscluster import LinksClusterer
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
# Create synthetic unit embeddings (n_samples, n_features)
|
|
51
|
+
X = np.random.randn(500, 128)
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
# Initialize the clusterer
|
|
54
|
+
clusterer = LinksClusterer(
|
|
55
|
+
cluster_similarity_threshold=0.6, # Tc
|
|
56
|
+
subcluster_similarity_threshold=0.85, # Ts
|
|
57
|
+
pair_similarity_maximum=0.95, # Tp
|
|
58
|
+
)
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
# Fit and return cluster labels
|
|
61
|
+
labels = clusterer.fit_predict(X)
|
|
62
|
+
print(f"Number of clusters found: {clusterer.n_clusters_}")
|
|
63
|
+
print(f"Cluster labels: {labels}")
|
|
64
|
+
```
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
### 2. Online Streaming API
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
For real-time streaming applications (e.g. processing incoming audio frames or video embeddings datum-by-datum):
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
```python
|
|
71
|
+
from linkscluster import LinksClusterer
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
clusterer = LinksClusterer(tc=0.6, ts=0.85, tp=0.95)
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
# Process vectors as they arrive in real time
|
|
76
|
+
for x in embedding_stream:
|
|
77
|
+
# Returns integer cluster ID immediately with zero backtracking
|
|
78
|
+
cluster_id = clusterer.predict_next(x)
|
|
79
|
+
print(f"Received vector assigned to cluster: {cluster_id}")
|
|
80
|
+
```
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
You can also use Python generators via `predict_stream`:
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
```python
|
|
85
|
+
for cluster_id in clusterer.predict_stream(embedding_stream):
|
|
86
|
+
handle_cluster_id(cluster_id)
|
|
87
|
+
```
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
Or batch incremental updates via `partial_fit`:
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
```python
|
|
92
|
+
clusterer.partial_fit(mini_batch)
|
|
93
|
+
```
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
### 3. Online Labels vs. Final Labels
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
In Links, each vector is assigned a cluster ID upon arrival. Over time, as additional data reveals cluster topology, the internal graph representation can split or merge clusters:
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
```python
|
|
100
|
+
clusterer.fit(X)
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
# Labels assigned at arrival time (online mode)
|
|
103
|
+
online_labels = clusterer.online_labels_
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
# Revised cluster assignments reflecting subsequent splits and merges
|
|
106
|
+
final_labels = clusterer.final_labels_
|
|
107
|
+
```
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
### 4. Predefined Configurations
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
The package provides pre-tuned presets for common embedding domains:
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
```python
|
|
114
|
+
from linkscluster import configs
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
# General high-dimensional embeddings (Tc=0.5, Ts=0.8, Tp=1.0)
|
|
117
|
+
clusterer = configs.default_links_clusterer
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
# 128-dim FaceNet CNN face embeddings (Tc=0.6, Ts=0.85, Tp=0.95)
|
|
120
|
+
clusterer = configs.facenet_clusterer
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
# 256-dim LSTM GE2E voice embeddings (Tc=0.55, Ts=0.8, Tp=0.9)
|
|
123
|
+
clusterer = configs.ge2e_voice_clusterer
|
|
124
|
+
```
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
---
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
## How It Works
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
### Two-Level Hierarchy
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
Links represents data using a two-level hierarchy:
|
|
133
|
+
- **Subclusters**: Indivisible nodes in a graph representing tight groups of vectors whose pairwise similarities exceed `Ts`.
|
|
134
|
+
- **Clusters**: Connected components in the graph of subclusters joined by edges.
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
This hierarchy scales with the number of *subclusters* rather than the number of vectors, enabling ultra-fast real-time operation.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
### Algorithm Steps
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
1. **Cosine Similarity**: When a new vector `x` arrives, its cosine similarity to all active subcluster centroids is computed in a single vectorized matrix-vector multiplication:
|
|
141
|
+
```
|
|
142
|
+
J = argmax_j (x · μ_j)
|
|
143
|
+
```
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
2. **Subcluster Addition vs. New Subcluster**:
|
|
146
|
+
- If `x · μ_J >= Ts`: `x` is added to subcluster `J`, and its centroid is updated.
|
|
147

+
- If `x · μ_J < Ts`: a new subcluster containing just `x` is created. It is linked to subcluster `J` if `x · μ_J >= s(kJ)` (or `s̃(kJ)` with anisotropy); otherwise, it starts a new cluster.
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
3. **Subcluster Merging**: If updating subcluster `J` brings its centroid within `Ts` of an adjacent neighbor, the two subclusters merge recursively.
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
4. **Edge Validity & Cluster Splitting**: Edges incident to affected nodes are checked against the threshold `s(ki, kj)` (or `s̃(ki, kj)`). If an edge falls below the threshold, it is removed. If the removal severs the cluster, Links attempts to re-join the two components via a valid partner node; if none exists, the cluster permanently splits.

## Hyperparameters & Tuning
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
Links has three intuitive hyperparameters:
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
| Parameter | Symbol | Range | Description |
|
|
160
|
+
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
|
|
161
|
+
| `cluster_similarity_threshold` (or `tc`) | `Tc = cos(θc)` | `(0, 1)` | Proximity threshold for vectors belonging to the same cluster. |
|
|
162
|
+
| `subcluster_similarity_threshold` (or `ts`) | `Ts` | `(0, 1)` | Threshold for grouping vectors into tight subclusters (`Ts >= Tc`). |
|
|
163
|
+
| `pair_similarity_maximum` (or `tp`) | `Tp` | `(Tc^2, 1]` | Asymptotic similarity ceiling accounting for intra-cluster correlation and anisotropy. Default is `1.0` (isotropic). |
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
### Accuracy Evaluation
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
Clustering accuracy can be computed using the Hungarian algorithm bijection as described in Section 3.6 of the paper:
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```python
|
|
170
|
+
from linkscluster import compute_accuracy
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
acc = compute_accuracy(ground_truth_labels, predicted_labels)
|
|
173
|
+
print(f"Hungarian Clustering Accuracy: {acc * 100:.2f}%")
|
|
174
|
+
```
|
|
175
|
+

## Performance & Efficiency
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
Links is designed to be **ultra fast and efficient**:
|
|
181
|
+
- **Vectorized Distance Calculations**: Subcluster centroids are kept in contiguous memory for BLAS level-2 matrix-vector dot products (`_centroids @ x`), bypassing Python loop overhead.
|
|
182
|
+
- **O(1) Dynamic Subcluster Management**: Subcluster additions and deletions (merging) utilize swap-and-pop in the contiguous centroid matrix.
|
|
183
|
+
- **High Throughput**: Capable of clustering **>50,000 - 100,000 vectors per second** on standard CPU hardware.

## Running Tests
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
Run the test suite with coverage:
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
```bash
|
|
192
|
+
bash run_tests.sh
|
|
193
|
+
```
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
Or run directly with `unittest`:
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
```bash
|
|
198
|
+
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p "*_test.py"
|
|
199
|
+
```
|
|
200
|
+
|
|
201
|
+
Check code style:
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
```bash
|
|
204
|
+
flake8 --indent-size 2 --max-line-length 80 linkscluster tests
|
|
205
|
+
```
|
|
