Abstract

Clustering is one of the most useful methods for understanding similarity among data. However, most conventional clustering methods do not pay sufficient attention to the geometric properties of data. Geometric algebra (GA) is a generalization of complex numbers and quaternions able to describe spatial objects and the relations between them. This paper uses conformal GA (CGA), which is a part of GA, to transform a vector in a real vector space into a vector in a CGA space and presents a proposed new clustering method using conformal vectors. In particular, this paper shows that the proposed method was able to extract the geometric clusters which could not be detected by conventional methods.
