Clustering is an underspecified task: there are no universal criteria for what makes a good clustering. This is especially true for relational data, where similarity can be based on the features of individuals, the relationships between…
Many methods have been developed for data clustering, such as k-means, expectation maximization and algorithms based on graph theory. In this latter case, graphs are generally constructed by taking into account the Euclidian distance as a…
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…
Clustering is a difficult and widely-studied data mining task, with many varieties of clustering algorithms proposed in the literature. Nearly all algorithms use a similarity measure such as a distance metric (e.g. Euclidean distance) to…
A novel approach rooted on the notion of consensus clustering, a strategy developed for community detection in complex networks, is proposed to cope with the heterogeneity that characterizes connectivity matrices in health and disease. The…
A method for dimension reduction with clustering, classification, or discriminant analysis is introduced. This mixture model-based approach is based on fitting generalized hyperbolic mixtures on a reduced subspace within the paradigm of…

We propose a simple and efficient clustering method for high-dimensional data with a large number of clusters. Our algorithm achieves high-performance by evaluating distances of datapoints with a subset of the cluster centres. Our…
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…
We study the problem of clustering with relative constraints, where each constraint specifies relative similarities among instances. In particular, each constraint $(x_i, x_j, x_k)$ is acquired by posing a query: is instance $x_i$ more…
This paper proposes a novel similarity measure for clustering sequential data. We first construct a common state-space by training a single probabilistic model with all the sequences in order to get a unified representation for the dataset.…
Clustering algorithms are one of the main analytical methods to detect patterns in unlabeled data. Existing clustering methods typically treat samples in a dataset as points in a metric space and compute distances to group together similar…
Currently, data-driven discovery in biological sciences resides in finding segmentation strategies in multivariate data that produce sensible descriptions of the data. Clustering is but one of several approaches and sometimes falls short…
The minimum spanning tree clustering algorithm is capable of detecting clusters with irregular boundaries. In this paper we propose two minimum spanning trees based clustering algorithm. The first algorithm produces k clusters with center…
This paper presents a new, parallel implementation of clustering and demonstrates its utility in greatly speeding up the process of identifying homologous proteins. Clustering is a technique to reduce the number of comparison needed to find…
Most density-based clustering methods largely rely on how well the underlying density is estimated. However, density estimation itself is also a challenging problem, especially the determination of the kernel bandwidth. A large bandwidth…
Clustering of motion trajectories is highly relevant for human-robot interactions as it allows the anticipation of human motions, fast reaction to those, as well as the recognition of explicit gestures. Further, it allows automated analysis…
In this paper, we present a novel method for co-clustering, an unsupervised learning approach that aims at discovering homogeneous groups of data instances and features by grouping them simultaneously. The proposed method uses the entropy…
We propose a graph-based clustering method based on Cluster Catch Digraphs (CCDs) that extends their applicability to moderate-dimensional data settings. Existing CCD variants, such as RK-CCDs, rely on spatial randomness tests based on…
