This research presents a fully unsupervised deep clustering pipeline for 3D point clouds, combining FoldingNet autoencoders with K-means++ to address challenges in Generative Specification-Producing AIs. The study evaluates performance metrics like ACC and NMI on standard datasets while analyzing the impact of cluster count K and providing visualizations of the learned codewords.
Autoencoder Based Deep Clustering of Point Clouds
arXiv:2611.01594v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by a problem in Generative Specification-Producing AIs (SPAIs), we focus on a problem of deep clustering of three-dimensional shapes specified by point clouds. After reviewing clustering and deep clustering, we study the fully unsupervised pipeline in which a FoldingNet autoencoder is first trained for reconstruction and then K-means++ is then applied to the resulting codewords. We report clustering accuracy (ACC), normalized mutual information (NMI) and adjusted Rand index (ARI) on ModelNet10 and ModelNet40 datasets, as a function of the number of clusters K. We also provide t-SNE visualizations of the codewords, and discuss the choice of K.
