Correlation clustering is a technique for aggregating data based on qualitative information about which pairs of objects are labeled 'similar' or 'dissimilar.' Because the optimization problem is NP-hard, much of the previous literature…
Semi-supervised clustering is a basic problem in various applications. Most existing methods require knowledge of the ideal cluster number, which is often difficult to obtain in practice. Besides, satisfying the must-link constraints is…
We study the classic correlation clustering in the dynamic setting. Given $n$ objects and a complete labeling of the object-pairs as either similar or dissimilar, the goal is to partition the objects into arbitrarily many clusters while…
Clustering is a fundamental task in unsupervised learning. The focus of this paper is the Correlation Clustering functional which combines positive and negative affinities between the data points. The contribution of this paper is two fold:…

Graph clustering problems typically aim to partition the graph nodes such that two nodes belong to the same partition set if and only if they are similar. Correlation Clustering is a graph clustering formulation which: (1) takes as input a…

Clustering, a fundamental task in data science and machine learning, groups a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same cluster are closer to each other than to those in other clusters. In this paper, we consider a well-known…
