In this paper, we propose a methodology to improvise the technique of deep transfer clustering (DTC) when applied to the less variant data distribution. Clustering can be considered as the most important unsupervised learning problem. A…

Clustering, a fundamental activity in unsupervised learning, is notoriously difficult when the feature space is high-dimensional. Fortunately, in many realistic scenarios, only a handful of features are relevant in distinguishing clusters.…
