Multi-view clustering has attracted broad attention due to its capacity to utilize consistent and complementary information among views. Although tremendous progress has been made recently, most existing methods undergo high complexity,…
We study in this paper the problem of jointly clustering and learning representations. As several previous studies have shown, learning representations that are both faithful to the data to be clustered and adapted to the clustering…
The classical k-means clustering, based on distances computed from all data features, cannot be directly applied to incomplete data with missing values. A natural extension of k-means to missing data, namely k-POD, uses only the observed…
The Tabu Search (TS) metaheuristic has been proposed for K-Means clustering as an alternative to Lloyd's algorithm, which for all its ease of implementation and fast runtime, has the major drawback of being trapped at local optima. While…
Spectral Clustering as a relaxation of the normalized/ratio cut has become one of the standard graph-based clustering methods. Existing methods for the computation of multiple clusters, corresponding to a balanced $k$-cut of the graph, are…

Background and Objective: Variables collected over time, or longitudinally, such as biologic measurements in electronic health records data, are not simple to summarize with a single time-point, and thus can be more holistically…
In machine learning and data mining, Cluster analysis is one of the most widely used unsupervised learning technique. Philosophy of this algorithm is to find similar data items and group them together based on any distance function in…
Application of K-Means algorithm is restricted by the fact that the number of clusters should be known beforehand. Previously suggested methods to solve this problem are either ad hoc or require parametric assumptions and complicated…

We propose a new clustering algorithm that is robust to the presence of outliers in the dataset. We perform Lloyd-type iterations with robust estimates of the centroids. More precisely, we build on the idea of median-of-means statistics to…
Clustering techniques are very attractive for extracting and identifying patterns in datasets. However, their application to very large spatial datasets presents numerous challenges such as high-dimensionality data, heterogeneity, and high…
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.…
Clustering is one of the most important tools for analysis of large datasets, and perhaps the most popular clustering algorithm is Lloyd's algorithm for $k$-means. This algorithm takes $n$ vectors $V=[v_1,\dots,v_n]\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times…
