We present a model for sticky particles in which cluster sizes after a reaction have $\ell$ fewer total particles than the sum of their reactants. The finite particle system is modeled as a Markov process under a mean-field assumption for…

We propose a novel end-to-end neural network architecture that, once trained, directly outputs a probabilistic clustering of a batch of input examples in one pass. It estimates a distribution over the number of clusters $k$, and for each $1…

Clustering methods must be tailored to the dataset it operates on, as there is no objective or universal definition of ``cluster,'' but nevertheless arbitrariness in the clustering method must be minimized. This paper develops a…

In particle systems, flocking refers to the phenomenon where particles' individual velocities eventually align. The Cucker-Smale model is a well-known mathematical framework that describes this behavior. Many continuous descriptions of the…

We study the problem of clustering sequences of unlabeled point sets taken from a common metric space. Such scenarios arise naturally in applications where a system or process is observed in distinct time intervals, such as biological…

We present a systematic computational approach to the study of self-similar dynamics. The approach, through the use of what can be thought of as a ``dynamic pinning condition" factors out self-similarity, and yields a transformed, non-local…
