Hierarchical clustering is an important technique to organize big data for exploratory data analysis. However, existing one-size-fits-all hierarchical clustering methods often fail to meet the diverse needs of different users. To address…
Hierarchical clustering seeks to uncover nested structures in data by constructing a tree of clusters, where deeper levels reveal finer-grained relationships. Traditional methods, including linkage approaches, face three major limitations:…
We present an approach to model-based hierarchical clustering by formulating an objective function based on a Bayesian analysis. This model organizes the data into a cluster hierarchy while specifying a complex feature-set partitioning that…
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a well-known method for multiclass classification and dimensionality reduction. However, in general, ordinary LDA does not achieve high prediction accuracy when observations in some classes are…
Hierarchical and k-medoids clustering are deterministic clustering algorithms based on pairwise distances. Using these same pairwise distances, we propose a novel stochastic clustering method based on random partition distributions. We call…
The focus of this paper is on the evaluation of sixteen labeling methods for hierarchical document clusters over five datasets. All of the methods are independent from clustering algorithms, applied subsequently to the dendrogram…
After generalizing the concept of clusters to incorporate clusters that are linked to other clusters through some relatively narrow bridges, an approach for detecting patches of separation between these clusters is developed based on an…
Hierarchical classification is a crucial task in many applications, where objects are organized into multiple levels of categories. However, conventional classification approaches often neglect inherent inter-class relationships at…
Cluster analysis is one of the essential tasks in data mining and knowledge discovery. Each type of data poses unique challenges in achieving relatively efficient partitioning of the data into homogeneous groups. While the algorithms for…
In order to learn quickly with few samples, meta-learning utilizes prior knowledge learned from previous tasks. However, a critical challenge in meta-learning is task uncertainty and heterogeneity, which can not be handled via globally…
We face a need of discovering a pattern in locations of a great number of points in a high-dimensional space. Goal is to group the close points together. We are interested in a hierarchical structure, like a B-tree. B-Trees are…
Co-clustering is a class of unsupervised data analysis techniques that extract the existing underlying dependency structure between the instances and variables of a data table as homogeneous blocks. Most of those techniques are limited to…
Clustering analysis is of substantial significance for data mining. The properties of big data raise higher demand for more efficient and economical distributed clustering methods. However, existing distributed clustering methods mainly…
Motivation: Clustering is a frequently used concept in variety of bioinformatical applications. We present a new method for hierarchical clustering of data called mutual information clustering (MIC) algorithm. It uses mutual information…
We present a method for hierarchical clustering of data called {\it mutual information clustering} (MIC) algorithm. It uses mutual information (MI) as a similarity measure and exploits its grouping property: The MI between three objects $X,…
A combinatorial cost function for hierarchical clustering was introduced by Dasgupta \cite{dasgupta2016cost}. It has been generalized by Cohen-Addad et al. \cite{cohen2019hierarchical} to a general form named admissible function. In this…
We survey agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithms and discuss efficient implementations that are available in R and other software environments. We look at hierarchical self-organizing maps, and mixture models. We review grid-based…
Density-based clustering is the most popular clustering algorithm since it can identify clusters of arbitrary shape as long as they are separated by low-density regions. However, a high-density region that is not separated by low-density…
This paper characterizes hierarchical clustering methods that abide by two previously introduced axioms -- thus, denominated admissible methods -- and proposes tractable algorithms for their implementation. We leverage the fact that, for…
This paper addresses the clustering of data in the hyperdimensional computing (HDC) domain. In prior work, an HDC-based clustering framework, referred to as HDCluster, has been proposed. However, the performance of the existing HDCluster is…
