Summary

This paper gives a general theoretical interpretation of a wide variety of spectral methods. The authors first present the general framework of normalized cuts. We assume we are given an index set and similarity matrix where entry represents a similarity between item and item . We then seek a partition of into two sets . Minimizing the following criteria: <math> NCut(A, \overline{A}) = \left( \frac{1}{Vol(A)}\frac{1}{vol(\overline{A})}\right) <math>
