Minimum Description Length based Granular-Ball Tree Regularization for Spectral Clustering

ArXi:2605.22410v1 Announce Type: new Spectral clustering largely depends on the affinity graph, yet constructing a graph that preserves reliable local connectivity while adapting to heterogeneous data structures remains challenging. Existing granular-ball-based spectral clustering methods usually reduce graph complexity by using coarse-grained representatives. However, the learned local regions are often treated as graph nodes or anchors, and their structural information is not sufficiently used to regularize the original sample-level graph.
