Maximization of mutual information between the model's input and output is formally related to "decisiveness" and "fairness" of the softmax predictions, motivating these unsupervised entropy-based criteria for clustering. First, in the…

Clustering data is a popular feature in the field of unsupervised machine learning. Most algorithms aim to find the best method to extract consistent clusters of data, but very few of them intend to cluster data that share the same…

K-means is undoubtedly the most widely used partitional clustering algorithm. Unfortunately, due to its gradient descent nature, this algorithm is highly sensitive to the initial placement of the cluster centers. Numerous initialization…

Existing clustering algorithms such as K-means often need to preset parameters such as the number of categories K, and such parameters may lead to the failure to output objective and consistent clustering results. This paper introduces a…

Clustering and estimating cluster means are core problems in statistics and machine learning, with k-means and Expectation Maximization (EM) being two widely used algorithms. In this work, we provide a theoretical explanation for the…

Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…

This work proposes a clusterization algorithm called k-Morphological Sets (k-MS), based on morphological reconstruction and heuristics. k-MS is faster than the CPU-parallel k-Means in worst case scenarios and produces enhanced…

In the context of recent deep clustering studies, discriminative models dominate the literature and report the most competitive performances. These models learn a deep discriminative neural network classifier in which the labels are latent.…

Due to the progressive growth of the amount of data available in a wide variety of scientific fields, it has become more difficult to ma- nipulate and analyze such information. Even though datasets have grown in size, the K-means algorithm…

Clustering is widely used for unsupervised structure discovery, yet it offers limited insight into how reliable each individual assignment is. Diagnostics, such as convergence behavior or objective values, may reflect global quality, but…

One of the applications of center-based clustering algorithms such as K-Means is partitioning data points into K clusters. In some examples, the feature space relates to the underlying problem we are trying to solve, and sometimes we can…

Kernel-based K-means clustering has gained popularity due to its simplicity and the power of its implicit non-linear representation of the data. A dominant concern is the memory requirement since memory scales as the square of the number of…

Comparison of three kind of the clustering and find cost function and loss function and calculate them. Error rate of the clustering methods and how to calculate the error percentage always be one on the important factor for evaluating the…

Center-based clustering algorithms (e.g., K-means) are popular for clustering tasks, but they usually struggle to achieve high accuracy on complex datasets. We believe the main reason is that traditional center-based clustering algorithms…

Clustering is an effective technique in data mining to generate groups that are the matter of interest. Among various clustering approaches, the family of k-means algorithms and min-cut algorithms gain most popularity due to their…

Big Data is a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is too large and it also difficult to process using traditional techniques. Clustering algorithms have developed as a powerful learning tool that can exactly analyze…

K-means clustering is a workhorse of unsupervised learning, but it is notoriously brittle to outliers, distribution shifts, and limited sample sizes. Viewing k-means as Lloyd--Max quantization of the empirical distribution, we develop a…

Despite the growing popularity of explainable and interpretable machine learning, there is still surprisingly limited work on inherently interpretable clustering methods. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in explaining the…

A natural way to characterize the cluster structure of a dataset is by finding regions containing a high density of data. This can be done in a nonparametric way with a kernel density estimate, whose modes and hence clusters can be found…

The mixture model is undoubtedly one of the greatest contributions to clustering. For continuous data, Gaussian models are often used and the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is particularly suitable for estimating parameters from…
