Spectral Clustering

Overview

This is a Python re-implementation of the spectral clustering algorithm in the paper Speaker Diarization with LSTM.

Disclaimer

This is not the original implementation used by the paper.

Specifically, in this implementation, we use the K-Means from scikit-learn, which does NOT support customized distance measure like cosine distance.

Dependencies

• numpy
• scipy
• scikit-learn

Installation

Install the package by:

pip3 install spectralcluster

or

python3 -m pip install spectralcluster

Tutorial

Simply use the predict() method of class SpectralClusterer to perform spectral clustering:

from spectralcluster import SpectralClusterer

clusterer = SpectralClusterer(
    min_clusters=2,
    max_clusters=100,
    p_percentile=0.95,
    gaussian_blur_sigma=1)

labels = clusterer.predict(X)

The input X is a numpy array of shape (n_samples, n_features), and the returned labels is a numpy array of shape (n_samples,).

For the complete list of parameters of the clusterer, see spectralcluster/spectral_clusterer.py.
