P2: Spectral Clustering on Handwritten Digits Database Author: Danielle Middlebrooks , Advisor: Kasso Okoudjou (Math) Problem Statement Presentation Project Proposal Abstract Spectral Clustering is a technique used to group together data points of similar behavior in order to analyze the overall data. The goal of this project will be to implement a spectral clustering algorithm on the MNIST handwritten digits database in which we will be able to cluster similar images using a similarity matrix derived from the dataset. We will develop code in order to implement each step of the algorithm and optimize to efficiently obtain a reasonable clustering of the dataset.
