Most multi-view clustering methods are limited by shallow models without sound nonlinear information perception capability, or fail to effectively exploit complementary information hidden in different views. To tackle these issues, we…
The bottom-up saliency, an early stage of humans' visual attention, can be considered as a binary classification problem between centre and surround classes. Discriminant power of features for the classification is measured as mutual…
A cluster tree provides a highly-interpretable summary of a density function by representing the hierarchy of its high-density clusters. It is estimated using the empirical tree, which is the cluster tree constructed from a density…
Measuring similarity between complex objects is a fundamental task in many scientific fields. When objects are represented as graphs, graph similarity/distance measures offer a powerful framework for quantifying structural resemblance.…
Spatial clustering has been widely used for spatial data mining and knowledge discovery. An ideal multivariate spatial clustering should consider both spatial contiguity and aspatial attributes. Existing spatial clustering approaches may…
With the explosive growth of multi-source data, multi-view clustering has attracted great attention in recent years. Most existing multi-view methods operate in raw feature space and heavily depend on the quality of original feature…
Infomap clustering finds the community structures that minimize the expected description length of a random walk trajectory; algorithms for infomap clustering run fast in practice for large graphs. In this paper we leverage the…
Breast cancer is a significant global health issue, and the diagnosis of breast imaging has always been challenging. Mammography images typically have extremely high resolution, with lesions occupying only a very small area. Down-sampling…
In low- and middle-income countries, household surveys are the most reliable data source to examine health and demographic indicators at the subnational level, an exercise in small area estimation. Model-based unit-level models are favored…
In a world abundant with diverse data arising from complex acquisition techniques, there is a growing need for new data analysis methods. In this paper we focus on high-dimensional data that are organized into several hierarchical datasets.…
In data clustering, it is often desirable to find not just a single partition into clusters but a sequence of partitions that describes the data at different scales (or levels of coarseness). A natural problem then is to analyse and compare…
Understanding the global organization of complicated and high dimensional data is of primary interest for many branches of applied sciences. It is typically achieved by applying dimensionality reduction techniques mapping the considered…
Data analysis and data mining are concerned with unsupervised pattern finding and structure determination in data sets. "Structure" can be understood as symmetry and a range of symmetries are expressed by hierarchy. Such symmetries directly…
Poverty status identification is the first obstacle to eradicating poverty. Village-level poverty identification is very challenging due to the arduous field investigation and insufficient information. The development of the Web…
Real data is often given as a point cloud, i.e. a finite set of points with pairwise distances between them. An important problem is to detect the topological shape of data --- for example, to approximate a point cloud by a low-dimensional…
Many community detection algorithms require the introduction of a measure on the set of nodes. Previously, a lot of efforts have been made to find the top-performing measures. In most cases, experiments were conducted on several datasets or…
We study a multipole vector-based decomposition of cosmic microwave background (CMB) data in order to search for signatures of a multiconnected topology of the universe. Using 10^6 simulated maps, we analyse the multipole vector…
Mapper, a topological algorithm, is frequently used as an exploratory tool to build a graphical representation of data. This representation can help to gain a better understanding of the intrinsic shape of high-dimensional genomic data and…
Graph clustering is a central topic in unsupervised learning with a multitude of practical applications. In recent years, multi-view graph clustering has gained a lot of attention for its applicability to real-world instances where one has…
Community detection algorithms have been widely used to study the organization of complex systems like the brain. A principal appeal of these techniques is their ability to identify a partition of brain regions (or nodes) into communities,…
