The interest in variable selection for clustering has increased recently due to the growing need in clustering high-dimensional data. Variable selection allows in particular to ease both the clustering and the interpretation of the results.…

This paper is about variable selection, clustering and estimation in an unsupervised high-dimensional setting. Our approach is based on fitting constrained Gaussian mixture models, where we learn the number of clusters $K$ and the set of…

High-dimensional data clustering has become and remains a challenging task for modern statistics and machine learning, with a wide range of applications. We consider in this work the powerful discriminative latent mixture model, and we…

We describe two techniques that significantly improve the running time of several standard machine-learning algorithms when data is sparse. The first technique is an algorithm that effeciently extracts one-way and two-way counts--either…

The performance of EM in learning mixtures of product distributions often depends on the initialization. This can be problematic in crowdsourcing and other applications, e.g. when a small number of 'experts' are diluted by a large number of…

Investigating technical skills of swimmers is a challenge for performance improvement, that can be achieved by analyzing multivariate functional data recorded by Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). To investigate technical levels of…

We propose a construction for joint feature learning and clustering of multichannel extracellular electrophysiological data across multiple recording periods for action potential detection and discrimination ("spike sorting"). Our…

We apply a reinforcement learning algorithm to show how smart particles can learn approximately optimal strategies to navigate in complex flows. In this paper we consider microswimmers in a paradigmatic three-dimensional case given by a…

Microswimmers can acquire information on the surrounding fluid by sensing mechanical queues. They can then navigate in response to these signals. We analyse this navigation by combining deep reinforcement learning with direct numerical…

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.…

The schooling behavior of fish can be studied through simulations involving a large number of interacting particles. In such systems, each individual particle is guided by behavior rules, which include aggregation towards a centroid,…

Cooperation between micro-organisms give rise to novel phenomena like clustering, swarming in suspension. We study the collective behavior of the artificial swimmer called Taylor line at low Reynolds number using multi-particle collision…

Deep clustering incorporates embedding into clustering to find a lower-dimensional space appropriate for clustering. In this paper, we propose a novel deep clustering framework with self-supervision using pairwise similarities (DCSS). The…

A distinctive feature of a clustered observational study is its multilevel or nested data structure arising from the assignment of treatment, in a non-random manner, to groups or clusters of units or individuals. Examples are ubiquitous in…

Metric clustering is fundamental in areas ranging from Combinatorial Optimization and Data Mining, to Machine Learning and Operations Research. However, in a variety of situations we may have additional requirements or knowledge, distinct…

We propose a novel, efficient approach for distributed sparse learning in high-dimensions, where observations are randomly partitioned across machines. Computationally, at each round our method only requires the master machine to solve a…

This study addresses the problem of performing clustering in the presence of two types of background knowledge: pairwise constraints and monotonicity constraints. To achieve this, the formal framework to perform clustering under…

We propose a novel approach to the problem of multilevel clustering, which aims to simultaneously partition data in each group and discover grouping patterns among groups in a potentially large hierarchically structured corpus of data. Our…

The convergence of expectation-maximization (EM)-based algorithms typically requires continuity of the likelihood function with respect to all the unknown parameters (optimization variables). The requirement is not met when parameters…

Clustering in high-dimensional spaces is nowadays a recurrent problem in many scientific domains but remains a difficult task from both the clustering accuracy and the result understanding points of view. This paper presents a…
