Modern learning-based visual feature extraction networks perform well in intra-domain localization, however, their performance significantly declines when image pairs are captured across long-term visual domain variations, such as different…
In this work, we introduce a novel methodology for divisive hierarchical clustering. Our divisive (``top-down'') approach is motivated by the fact that agglomerative hierarchical clustering (``bottom-up''), which is commonly used for…
This paper addresses the clustering of data in the hyperdimensional computing (HDC) domain. In prior work, an HDC-based clustering framework, referred to as HDCluster, has been proposed. However, the performance of the existing HDCluster is…
In this paper, we address the problem of searching for semantically similar images from a large database. We present a compact coding approach, supervised quantization. Our approach simultaneously learns feature selection that linearly…
The problem of proximity full-text search is considered. If a search query contains high-frequently occurring words, then multi-component key indexes deliver an improvement in the search speed compared with ordinary inverted indexes. It was…
In this paper, we formulate a top-k query that compares objects in a database to a user-provided query object on a novel scoring function. The proposed scoring function combines the idea of attractive and repulsive dimensions into a general…
Pattern recognition constitutes a particularly important task underlying a great deal of scientific and technologica activities. At the same time, pattern recognition involves several challenges, including the choice of features to…
This paper conducts sensitivity analysis of random constraint and variational systems related to stochastic optimization and variational inequalities. We establish efficient conditions for well-posedness, in the sense of robust Lipschitzian…
Link prediction is an open problem in the complex network, which attracts much research interest currently. However, little attention has been paid to the relation between network structure and the performance of prediction methods. In…
Vision transformers (ViTs) have been successfully applied in image classification tasks recently. In this paper, we show that, unlike convolution neural networks (CNNs)that can be improved by stacking more convolutional layers, the…
The high dimensionality of hyperspectral images often results in the degradation of clustering performance. Due to the powerful ability of deep feature extraction and non-linear feature representation, the clustering algorithm based on deep…

In this paper we perform an analytical and numerical study of Extreme Value distributions in discrete dynamical systems that have a singular measure. Using the block maxima approach described in Faranda et al. [2011] we show that,…
This paper discusses clustering and latent semantic indexing (LSI) aspects of the singular value decomposition (SVD). The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first is to give an explanation on how and why the singular vectors can be used…
In this paper, we study VC-density over indiscernible sequences (denoted VC_ind-density). We answer an open question in [1], showing that VC_ind-density is always integer valued. We also show that VC_ind-density and dp-rank coincide in the…
We propose a new class of metrics on sets, vectors, and functions that can be used in various stages of data mining, including exploratory data analysis, learning, and result interpretation. These new distance functions unify and generalize…
While Bayesian methods are extremely popular in statistics and machine learning, their application to massive datasets is often challenging, when possible at all. Indeed, the classical MCMC algorithms are prohibitively slow when both the…
A major computational burden, while performing document clustering, is the calculation of similarity measure between a pair of documents. Similarity measure is a function that assign a real number between 0 and 1 to a pair of documents,…
In this study, we present a novel ranking model based on learning neighborhood relationships embedded in the index space. Given a query point, conventional approximate nearest neighbor search calculates the distances to the cluster…
This paper studies concentration inequalities for functions of locally dependent random variables. We show that the usual definition of local dependence does not imply concentration for general Hamming Lipschitz functions. We define…
