Practical solutions to the problem of diagonal dominance in kernel document clustering

Open access

Abstract

In supervised kernel methods, it has been observed that the performance of the SVM classifier is poor in cases where the diagonal entries of the Gram matrix are large relative to the off-diagonal entries. This problem, referred to as diagonal dominance, often occurs when certain kernel functions are applied to sparse high-dimensional data, such as text corpora. In this paper we investigate the implications of diagonal dominance for unsupervised kernel methods, specifically in the task of document clustering. We propose a selection of strategies for addressing this issue, and evaluate their effectiveness in producing more accurate and stable clusterings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
