• Abstract:Co-clustering methods make use of the correlation between samples and attributes to explore the co-occurrence structure in data. These methods have played a significant role in gene expression analysis, image segmentation, and document clustering. In bipartite graph partition-based co-clustering methods, the relationship between samples and attributes is described by constructing a diagonal symmetric bipartite graph matrix, which is clustered by the philosophy of spectral clustering. However, this not only has high time complexity but also the same number of row and column clusters. In fact, the number of categories of rows and columns often changes in the real world. To address these problems, this paper proposes a novel fast flexible bipartite graph model for the co-clustering method (FBGPC) that directly uses the original matrix to construct the bipartite graph. Then, it uses the inflation operation to partition the bipartite graph in order to learn the co-occurrence structure of the original data matrix based on the inherent relationship between bipartite graph partitioning and co-clustering. Finally, hierarchical clustering is used to obtain the clustering results according to the set relationship of the co-occurrence structure. Extensive empirical results show the effectiveness of our proposed model and verify the faster performance, generality, and flexibility of our model.
