Traditional clustering identifies groups of objects that share certain qualities. Tangles do the converse: they identify groups of qualities that often occur together. They can thereby discover, relate, and structure types: of behaviour,…
Clustering is a fundamental machine learning task which has been widely studied in the literature. Classic clustering methods follow the assumption that data are represented as features in a vectorized form through various representation…
The large size of nowadays' online multimedia databases makes retrieving their content a difficult and time-consuming task. Users of online sound collections typically submit search queries that express a broad intent, often making the…
Determining the number of clusters present in a dataset is an important problem in cluster analysis. Conventional clustering techniques generally assume this parameter to be provided up front. %user supplied. %Recently, robustness of any…
Suppose, we are given a set of $n$ elements to be clustered into $k$ (unknown) clusters, and an oracle/expert labeler that can interactively answer pair-wise queries of the form, "do two elements $u$ and $v$ belong to the same cluster?".…
Clustering is one of the fundamental tasks in computer vision and pattern recognition. Recently, deep clustering methods (algorithms based on deep learning) have attracted wide attention with their impressive performance. Most of these…
Unsupervised learning is widely recognized as one of the most important challenges facing machine learning nowa- days. However, in spite of hundreds of papers on the topic being published every year, current theoretical understanding and…
In cluster analysis interest lies in probabilistically capturing partitions of individuals, items or observations into groups, such that those belonging to the same group share similar attributes or relational profiles. Bayesian posterior…
Clustering is a well-known unsupervised machine learning approach capable of automatically grouping discrete sets of instances with similar characteristics. Constrained clustering is a semi-supervised extension to this process that can be…
One way of getting a better view of data is using frequent patterns. In this paper frequent patterns are subsets that occur a minimal number of times in a stream of itemsets. However, the discovery of frequent patterns in streams has always…
Traditionally it had been a problem that researchers did not have access to enough spatial data to answer pressing research questions or build compelling visualizations. Today, however, the problem is often that we have too much data.…
Averaging amplitudes over consecutive time samples within a time-window is widely used to calculate the amplitude of an event-related potential (ERP) for cognitive neuroscience. Objective determination of the time-window is critical for…
The paper tackles the problem of clustering multiple networks, directed or not, that do not share the same set of vertices, into groups of networks with similar topology. A statistical model-based approach based on a finite mixture of…
While traditional research on text clustering has largely focused on grouping documents by topic, it is conceivable that a user may want to cluster documents along other dimensions, such as the authors mood, gender, age, or sentiment.…
Fast and high quality document clustering is an important task in organizing information, search engine results obtaining from user query, enhancing web crawling and information retrieval. With the large amount of data available and with a…
We give the motivation for scoring clustering algorithms and a metric $M : A \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ from the set of clustering algorithms to the natural numbers which we realize as \begin{equation} M(A) = \sum_i \alpha_i |f_i -…
In this paper we propose a framework inspired by interacting particle physics and devised to perform clustering on multidimensional datasets. To this end, any given dataset is modeled as an interacting particle system, under the assumption…
In cluster analysis, a common first step is to scale the data aiming to better partition them into clusters. Even though many different techniques have throughout many years been introduced to this end, it is probably fair to say that the…
Clustering is the problem of separating a set of objects into groups (called clusters) so that objects within the same cluster are more similar to each other than to those in different clusters. Spectral clustering is a now well-known…
Clustering multimorbidity has been a global research priority in recent years. Existing studies usually identify these clusters using one of several popular clustering methods and then explore various characteristics of these clusters,…
