Clustering of variables is as a way to arrange variables into homogeneous clusters, i.e., groups of variables which are strongly related to each other and thus bring the same information. These approaches can then be useful for dimension…

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…

The HCV package implements the hierarchical clustering for spatial data. It requires clustering results not only homogeneous in non-geographical features among samples but also geographically close to each other within a cluster. We…

Hierarchical clustering (HC) is an important data analysis technique in which the goal is to recursively partition a dataset into a tree-like structure while grouping together similar data points at each level of granularity. Unfortunately,…

In this paper, we propose an efficient clustering technique to solve the problem of clustering in the presence of obstacles. The proposed algorithm divides the spatial area into rectangular cells. Each cell is associated with statistical…

"mdendro" is an R package that provides a comprehensive collection of linkage methods for agglomerative hierarchical clustering on a matrix of proximity data (distances or similarities), returning a multifurcated dendrogram or…

Finding a set of nested partitions of a dataset is useful to uncover relevant structure at different scales, and is often dealt with a data-dependent methodology. In this paper, we introduce a general two-step methodology for model-based…

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…

Regionalization is the task of dividing up a landscape into homogeneous patches with similar properties. Although this task has a wide range of applications, it has two notable challenges. First, it is assumed that the resulting regions are…

In this paper, we present novel variations of an earlier approach called homogeneous clustering algorithm for reducing dataset size. The intuition behind the approaches proposed in this paper is to partition the dataset into homogeneous…

The discrete distribution clustering algorithm, namely D2-clustering, has demonstrated its usefulness in image classification and annotation where each object is represented by a bag of weighed vectors. The high computational complexity of…

Many clustering problems in computer vision and other contexts are also classification problems, where each cluster shares a meaningful label. Subspace clustering algorithms in particular are often applied to problems that fit this…

A new approach to clustering, based on the physical properties of inhomogeneous coupled chaotic maps, is presented. A chaotic map is assigned to each data-point and short range couplings are introduced. The stationary regime of the system…

Assessing how adequate clusters fit a dataset and finding an optimum number of clusters is a difficult process. A membership matrix and the degree of membership matrix is suggested to determine the homogeneity of a cluster fit. Maximisation…

The time needed to apply a hierarchical clustering algorithm is most often dominated by the number of computations of a pairwise dissimilarity measure. Such a constraint, for larger data sets, puts at a disadvantage the use of all the…

We propose methods for the analysis of hierarchical clustering that fully use the multi-resolution structure provided by a dendrogram. Specifically, we propose a loss for choosing between clustering methods, a feature importance score and a…

In the Correlation Clustering problem, we are given a weighted graph $G$ with its edges labeled as "similar" or "dissimilar" by a binary classifier. The goal is to produce a clustering that minimizes the weight of "disagreements": the sum…

We propose a new approach for clustering DNA features using array CGH data from multiple tumor samples. We distinguish data-collapsing: joining contiguous DNA clones or probes with extremely similar data into regions, from clustering:…

Distance-based clustering and classification are widely used in various fields to group mixed numeric and categorical data. In many algorithms, a predefined distance measurement is used to cluster data points based on their dissimilarity.…

VARCLUST algorithm is proposed for clustering variables under the assumption that variables in a given cluster are linear combinations of a small number of hidden latent variables, corrupted by the random noise. The entire clustering task…
