In this paper we present a new dynamical systems algorithm for clustering in hyperspectral images. The main idea of the algorithm is that data points are \`pushed\' in the direction of increasing density and groups of pixels that end up in…
Spectral clustering has become a popular technique due to its high performance in many contexts. It comprises three main steps: create a similarity graph between N objects to cluster, compute the first k eigenvectors of its Laplacian matrix…
In the context of clustering, we consider a generative model in a Euclidean ambient space with clusters of different shapes, dimensions, sizes and densities. In an asymptotic setting where the number of points becomes large, we obtain…

One way of getting a better view of data is using frequent patterns. In this paper frequent patterns are subsets that occur a minimal number of times in a stream of itemsets. However, the discovery of frequent patterns in streams has always…
Traditional clustering methods aim to group unlabeled data points based on their similarity to each other. However, clustering, in the absence of additional information, is an ill-posed problem as there may be many different, yet equally…
Big Data processing systems handle huge unstructured and structured data to store, process, and analyze through cluster analysis which helps in identifying unseen patterns to find the relationships between them. Clustering analysis over the…
In this work, the possibility of clustering correlated random variables was examined, both because of their mutual similarity and because of their similarity to the principal components. The k-means algorithm and spectral algorithms were…
