In clustering, strong dominance in the size of a particular cluster is often undesirable, motivating a measure of cluster size uniformity that can be used to filter such partitions. A basic requirement of such a measure is stability:…
In this contribution, the clustering procedure based on K-Means algorithm is studied as an inverse problem, which is a special case of the illposed problems. The attempts to improve the quality of the clustering inverse problem drive to…
Recently, sparse subspace clustering has been a valid tool to deal with high-dimensional data. There are two essential steps in the framework of sparse subspace clustering. One is solving the coefficient matrix of data, and the other is…
A plethora of research has been done in the past focusing on predicting student's performance in order to support their development. Many institutions are focused on improving the performance and the education quality; and this can be…
Clustering is a critical component of decision-making in todays data-driven environments. It has been widely used in a variety of fields such as bioinformatics, social network analysis, and image processing. However, clustering accuracy…
A program can be viewed as a syntactic structure P (syntactic skeleton) parameterized by a collection of the identifiers V (variable names). This paper introduces the skeletal program enumeration (SPE) problem: Given a fixed syntactic…
Evaluation of the resistance of implemented cryptographic algorithms against SCA attacks, as well as detecting of SCA leakage sources at an early stage of the design process, is important for an efficient re-design of the implementation.…
In many modern statistical problems, the limited available data must be used both to develop the hypotheses to test, and to test these hypotheses-that is, both for exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. Reusing the same dataset for…
With the recent growth in data availability and complexity, and the associated outburst of elaborate modelling approaches, model selection tools have become a lifeline, providing objective criteria to deal with this increasingly challenging…
In this paper, we consider a new variant for principal component analysis (PCA), aiming to capture the grouping and/or sparse structures of factor loadings simultaneously. To achieve these goals, we employ a non-convex truncated…
Stakeholders make various types of decisions with respect to requirements, design, management, and so on during the software development life cycle. Nevertheless, these decisions are typically not well documented and classified due to…
An ensemble method that fuses the output decision vectors of multiple feedforward-designed convolutional neural networks (FF-CNNs) to solve the image classification problem is proposed in this work. To enhance the performance of the…
Ensemble methods have played a crucial role in achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across various machine learning tasks by leveraging the diversity of features learned by individual models. In Time Series Classification (TSC),…

Autoencoders have been widely used as a nonlinear tool for data dimensionality reduction. While autoencoders don't utilize the label information, Centroid-Encoders (CE)\cite{ghosh2022supervised} use the class label in their learning…
With the aim to propose a non parametric hypothesis test, this paper carries out a study on the Matching Error (ME), a comparison index of two partitions obtained from the same data set, using for example two clustering methods. This index…
Causal effects are often characterized with population summaries. These might provide an incomplete picture when there are heterogeneous treatment effects across subgroups. Since the subgroup structure is typically unknown, it is more…
Current modularity-based community detection algorithms attempt to find cluster memberships that maximize modularity within a fixed graph topology. Diverging from this conventional approach, our work introduces a novel strategy that employs…
Treating class with a single center may hardly capture data distribution complexities. Using multiple sub-centers is an alternative way to address this problem. However, highly correlated sub-classes, the classifier's parameters grow…
Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to explore the application of evaluation metrics to different clustering algorithms using the data provided from the Canadian Longitudinal Study (CLSA), focusing on cognitive features. The…
