VARCLUST algorithm is proposed for clustering variables under the assumption that variables in a given cluster are linear combinations of a small number of hidden latent variables, corrupted by the random noise. The entire clustering task…

Convex clustering has recently garnered increasing interest due to its attractive theoretical and computational properties, but its merits become limited in the face of high-dimensional data. In such settings, pairwise affinity terms that…
