We propose a Bayesian approach for model-based clustering of multivariate categorical data where variables are allowed to be associated within clusters and the number of clusters is unknown. The approach uses a two-layer mixture of finite…
Spatial clustering is a crucial field, finding universal use across criminology, pathology, and urban planning. However, most spatial clustering algorithms cannot pull information from nearby nodes and suffer performance drops when dealing…
In applications where the study data are collected within cluster units (e.g., patients within transplant centers), it is often of interest to estimate and perform inference on the treatment effects of the cluster units. However, it is…
Motivated by recent work in computational social choice, we extend the metric distortion framework to clustering problems. Given a set of $n$ agents located in an underlying metric space, our goal is to partition them into $k$ clusters,…
The plenty information from multiple views data as well as the complementary information among different views are usually beneficial to various tasks, e.g., clustering, classification, de-noising. Multi-view subspace clustering is based on…
Histopathologic diagnosis relies on simultaneous integration of information from a broad range of scales, ranging from nuclear aberrations ($\approx \mathcal{O}(0.1{\mu m})$) through cellular structures ($\approx \mathcal{O}(10{\mu m})$) to…
