Abstract
Abstract Clustering of single or multi-omic data is key to developing personalised medicine and identifying new cell types. We present Spectrum, a fast spectral clustering method for single and multi-omic expression data. Spectrum is flexible and performs well on single-cell RNA-seq data. The method uses a new density-aware kernel that adapts to data scale and density. It uses a tensor product graph data integration and diffusion technique to reveal underlying structures and reduce noise. We developed a powerful method of eigenvector analysis to determine the number of clusters. Benchmarking Spectrum on 21 datasets demonstrated improvements in runtime and performance relative to other state-of-the-art methods. Contact: christopher.john@qmul.ac.uk
