Gromov-Wasserstein Quantization Extends K-Means for Geometry-Aware Clustering

This paper introduces Gromov-Wasserstein (GW) quantization as an extension of traditional k-means clustering. Unlike standard Wasserstein quantization which clusters points within a space, GW quantization also considers the geometry of the space itself. The research proves the existence of solutions for GW quantization and proposes an algorithm analogous to Lloyd's algorithm for numerical approximation. The study also analyzes quantization rates for Euclidean geometries and demonstrates through experiments that GW quantization offers new modeling capabilities, such as for 3D shapes and neural network pruning.

    Gromov-Wasserstein Quantization and Clustering: Structure, Rates, and Algorithms

    Clustering is a fundamental class of data analysis techniques with the most important representatives being centroid-based methods like $k$-means. Such methods are strongly connected to quantization problems, which aim to approximate general probability measures with discrete one…
