Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…
Common clustering algorithms require multiple scans of all the data to achieve convergence, and this is prohibitive when large databases, with data arriving in streams, must be processed. Some algorithms to extend the popular K-means method…
Due to their real time nature, microblog streams are a rich source of dynamic information, for example, about emerging events. Existing techniques for discovering such events from a microblog stream in real time (such as Twitter trending…
To make sense of massive data, we often fit simplified models and then interpret the parameters; for example, we cluster the text embeddings and then interpret the mean parameters of each cluster. However, these parameters are often…
Online social post streams such as Twitter timelines and forum discussions have emerged as important channels for information dissemination. They are noisy, informal, and surge quickly. Real life events, which may happen and evolve every…
In this contribution, we develop an accurate and effective event detection method to detect events from a Twitter stream, which uses visual and textual information to improve the performance of the mining process. The method monitors a…
Internet memes have emerged as a novel format for communication and expressing ideas on the web. Their fluidity and creative nature are reflected in their widespread use, often across platforms and occasionally for unethical or harmful…
A significant proportion of individuals' daily activities is experienced through digital devices. Smartphones in particular have become one of the preferred interfaces for content consumption and social interaction. Identifying the content…
As a kind of basic machine learning method, clustering algorithms group data points into different categories based on their similarity or distribution. We present a clustering algorithm by finding hyper-planes to distinguish the data…
Cluster number is typically a parameter selected at the outset in clustering problems, and while impactful, the choice can often be difficult to justify. Inspired by bioinformatics, this study examines how the nature of clusters varies with…
We present a new fast online clustering algorithm that reliably recovers arbitrary-shaped data clusters in high throughout data streams. Unlike the existing state-of-the-art online clustering methods based on k-means or k-medoid, it does…
Not long ago primary census data became available to publicity. It opened qualitatively new perspectives not only for researchers in demography and sociology, but also for those people, who somehow face processes occurring in society. In…
DBSCAN may not be sufficient when the input data type is heterogeneous in terms of textual description. When we aim to discover clusters of geo-tagged records relevant to a particular point-of-interest (POI) on social media, examining only…
Finding densely connected subsets of vertices in an unsupervised setting, called clustering or community detection, is one of the fundamental problems in network science. The edge clustering approach instead detects communities by…
We present a structural clustering algorithm for large-scale datasets of small labeled graphs, utilizing a frequent subgraph sampling strategy. A set of representatives provides an intuitive description of each cluster, supports the…
Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its easiness and effective medium, people share and exchange information, carry out discussion on various events, and express their opinions. For…
Debate summarization is one of the novel and challenging research areas in automatic text summarization which has been largely unexplored. In this paper, we develop a debate summarization pipeline to summarize key topics which are discussed…
Large datasets with interactions between objects are common to numerous scientific fields (i.e. social science, internet, biology...). The interactions naturally define a graph and a common way to explore or summarize such dataset is graph…
One of the key issues in both natural language understanding and generation is the appropriate processing of Multiword Expressions (MWEs). MWEs pose a huge problem to the precise language processing due to their idiosyncratic nature and…
Twitter can be viewed as a data source for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. The continuously updating data streams on Twitter make it challenging to trace real-time topic evolution. In this paper, we propose a framework for modeling…
