We introduce submodular hypergraphs, a family of hypergraphs that have different submodular weights associated with different cuts of hyperedges. Submodular hypergraphs arise in clustering applications in which higher-order structures carry…
In this work, we introduce a novel methodology for divisive hierarchical clustering. Our divisive (``top-down'') approach is motivated by the fact that agglomerative hierarchical clustering (``bottom-up''), which is commonly used for…
We determine the maximal hyperplane sections of the regular $n$-simplex, if the distance of the hyperplane to the centroid is fairly large, i.e. larger than the distance of the centroid to the midpoint of edges. Similar results for the…
In this paper we introduce a Cheeger-type constant defined as a minimization of a suitable functional among all the $N$-clusters contained in an open bounded set $\Omega$. Here with $N$-Cluster we mean a family of $N$ sets of finite…
This paper presents new parallel algorithms for generating Euclidean minimum spanning trees and spatial clustering hierarchies (known as HDBSCAN$^*$). Our approach is based on generating a well-separated pair decomposition followed by using…
Subspace clustering aims to find groups of similar objects (clusters) that exist in lower dimensional subspaces from a high dimensional dataset. It has a wide range of applications, such as analysing high dimensional sensor data or DNA…
We prove lower bounds of order $n\log n$ for both the problem to multiply polynomials of degree $n$, and to divide polynomials with remainder, in the model of bounded coefficient arithmetic circuits over the complex numbers. These lower…
Hierarchical clustering is a popular unsupervised data analysis method. For many real-world applications, we would like to exploit prior information about the data that imposes constraints on the clustering hierarchy, and is not captured by…
We define upper bound and lower bounds for order-preserving homogeneous of degree one maps on a proper closed cone in $\R^n$ in terms of the cone spectral radius. We also define weak upper and lower bounds for these maps. For a proper…
We study periodic tessellations of the Euclidean space with unequal cells arising from the minimization of perimeter functionals. Existence results and qualitative properties of minimizers are discussed for different classes of problems,…
Rectangular layouts, subdivisions of an outer rectangle into smaller rectangles, have many applications in visualizing spatial information, for instance in rectangular cartograms in which the rectangles represent geographic or political…
This letter presents a new spectral-clustering-based approach to the subspace clustering problem. Underpinning the proposed method is a convex program for optimal direction search, which for each data point d finds an optimal direction in…
In this paper we consider the hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose hyperplanes are $\{x_i + x_j = 1\mid 1\leq i < j\leq n\}\cup \{x_i=0,1\mid 1\leq i\leq n\}$. We call it the \emph{boxed threshold arrangement} since we show that…
This paper investigates enumerative aspects of permutohedral blades, which provide a generalization of the notion of the tropical hyperplane arrangement. Blade provide the combinatorial underpinning of generalized biadjoint scalar…
In this paper, we study closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces in a Riemannian $(n+1)$-manifold ($2\le n\le 6$) that minimize area among such hypersurfaces. We show they exist and arise either by minimization techniques or by min-max…
It has been hypothesized that some form of "modular" structure in artificial neural networks should be useful for learning, compositionality, and generalization. However, defining and quantifying modularity remains an open problem. We cast…
Biclustering is the task of simultaneously clustering the rows and columns of the data matrix into different subgroups such that the rows and columns within a subgroup exhibit similar patterns. In this paper, we consider the case of…
We study planar $N$-clusters that minimize, under an area constraint, a weighted perimeter $P_\varepsilon$ depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$. Specifically we weight $2-\varepsilon$ the boundary between the interior chambers and…
The problem of clustering noisy and incompletely observed high-dimensional data points into a union of low-dimensional subspaces and a set of outliers is considered. The number of subspaces, their dimensions, and their orientations are…
In spectral clustering, one defines a similarity matrix for a collection of data points, transforms the matrix to get the Laplacian matrix, finds the eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix, and obtains a partition of the data using the…
