Description
Summary:Being unsupervised methods, subspace clustering algorithms do not generally allow for the incorporation of prior information about a dataset. While this is freedom from prior information can be a strength of such methods, in cases where prior information about a dataset is known or given, this information cannot easily be exploited to better model the given dataset. This paper explores a way of extending the K-Subspaces clustering algorithm to incorporate prior information about a dataset and using this information to generate grammars that can provide weak supervision during the training of a subspace clustering-based model. We review the problem of subspace clustering, detail a strategy for adding weak supervision to the existing K-Subspaces algorithm, and compare this new method with other subspace clustering methods in the domain of video segmentation.--Author's abstract
