Community detection is an important task in network analysis. A community (also referred to as a cluster) is a set of cohesive vertices that have more connections inside the set than outside. In many social and information networks, these…
Biclustering is a powerful unsupervised learning technique for simultaneously identifying coherent subsets of rows and columns in a data matrix, thus revealing local patterns that may not be apparent in global analyses. However, most…
In many binary segmentation tasks, most CNNs-based methods use a U-shape encoder-decoder network as their basic structure. They ignore two key problems when the encoder exchanges information with the decoder: one is the lack of interference…
