In the era of big data, it is common to have data with multiple modalities or coming from multiple sources, known as "multi-view data". Multi-view clustering provides a natural way to generate clusters from such data. Since different views…
In theory, Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) models are well suited to streaming data scenarios due to their ability to adapt model complexity with the observed data. Unfortunately, such benefits have not been fully realized in practice;…
We study nonparametric clustering of smooth random curves on the basis of the L2 gradient flow associated to a pseudo-density functional and we show that the clustering is well-defined both at the population and at the sample level. We…
Nonparametric Bayesian approaches provide a flexible framework for clustering without pre-specifying the number of groups, yet they are well known to overestimate the number of clusters, especially for functional data. We show that a…
Design and simulation of future mobile networks will center around human interests and behavior. We propose a design paradigm for mobile networks driven by realistic models of users' on-line behavior, based on mining of billions of…
The increasing availability of multiple network data has highlighted the need for statistical models for heterogeneous populations of networks. A convenient framework makes use of metrics to measure similarity between networks. In this…
We propose a model-based clustering algorithm for a general class of functional data for which the components could be curves or images. The random functional data realizations could be measured with error at discrete, and possibly random,…
Recent research has established sufficient conditions for finite mixture models to be identifiable from grouped observations. These conditions allow the mixture components to be nonparametric and have substantial (or even total) overlap.…
We propose a novel methodology for feature screening in clustering massive datasets, in which both the number of features and the number of observations can potentially be very large. Taking advantage of a fusion penalization based convex…
Social network analysis presupposes that observed social behavior is influenced by an unobserved network. Traditional approaches to inferring the latent network use pairwise descriptive statistics that rely on a variety of measures of…
We propose a mixture of latent trait models with common slope parameters (MCLT) for model-based clustering of high-dimensional binary data, a data type for which few established methods exist. Recent work on clustering of binary data, based…
Incomplete multi-view clustering is a challenging and non-trivial task to provide effective data analysis for large amounts of unlabeled data in the real world. All incomplete multi-view clustering methods need to address the problem of how…
Model-based clustering is a technique widely used to group a collection of units into mutually exclusive groups. There are, however, situations in which an observation could in principle belong to more than one cluster. In the context of…
Modern social platforms are characterized by the presence of rich user-behavior data associated with the publication, sharing and consumption of textual content. Users interact with content and with each other in a complex and dynamic…
A nonparametric approach to the modeling of social networks using degree-corrected stochastic blockmodels is proposed. The model for static network consists of a stochastic blockmodel using a probit regression formulation and popularity…
Multi-view data is ever more apparent as methods for production, collection and storage of data become more feasible both practically and fiscally. However, not all features are relevant to describe the patterns for all individuals.…
Social network data are relational data recorded among a group of actors, interacting in different contexts. Often, the same set of actors can be characterized by multiple social relations, captured by a multidimensional network. A common…
Change point analysis has applications in a wide variety of fields. The general problem concerns the inference of a change in distribution for a set of time-ordered observations. Sequential detection is an online version in which new data…
We propose a novel nonparametric Bayesian IRT model in this paper by introducing the clustering effect at question level and further assume heterogeneity at examinee level under each question cluster, characterized by the mixture of…
Nowadays, multi-view clustering has attracted more and more attention. To date, almost all the previous studies assume that views are complete. However, in reality, it is often the case that each view may contain some missing instances.…
