Subspace clustering refers to the problem of clustering unlabeled high-dimensional data points into a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces, whose number, orientations, and dimensions are all unknown. In practice one may have access to…
While clustering is ubiquitously used across science and industry, uncertainty in cluster assignments is rarely quantified with rigorous guarantees. We propose a novel conformal inference framework for clustering that returns confidence…
The unique properties of dark matter are revealed during collisions between clusters of galaxies, like the bullet cluster (1E 0657-56) and baby bullet (MACSJ0025-12). These systems provide evidence for an additional, invisible mass in the…
Reliable manipulation of previously unseen objects remains a fundamental challenge for autonomous robotic systems operating in unstructured environments. In particular, robust pick-and-place planning directly from noisy and only partial…
Whether class labels in a given data set correspond to meaningful clusters is crucial for the evaluation of clustering algorithms using real-world data sets. This property can be quantified by separability measures. The central aspects of…
Estimation of structure, such as in variable selection, graphical modelling or cluster analysis is notoriously difficult, especially for high-dimensional data. We introduce stability selection. It is based on subsampling in combination with…
We show how clustering standard errors in one or more dimensions can be justified in M-estimation when there is sampling or assignment uncertainty. Since existing procedures for variance estimation are either conservative or invalid, we…
It is common when using cross-section or panel data to assign each observation to a cluster and allow for arbitrary patterns of heteroskedasticity and correlation within clusters. For regression models, there are many ways to make…

Keypoint detection underpins many vision tasks, including pose estimation, viewpoint recovery, and 3D reconstruction, yet modern neural models remain vulnerable to small input perturbations. Despite its importance, formal robustness…
Persistence diagrams (PDs) are used as signatures of point cloud data. Two clouds of points can be compared using the bottleneck distance d_B between their PDs. A potential drawback of this pipeline is that point clouds sampled from…
Typically clustering algorithms provide clustering solutions with prespecified number of clusters. The lack of a priori knowledge on the true number of underlying clusters in the dataset makes it important to have a metric to compare the…
Monocular depth estimation, enabled by self-supervised learning, is a key technique for 3D perception in computer vision. However, it faces significant challenges in real-world scenarios, which encompass adverse weather variations, motion…
