Fast and effective unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms have been proposed for categorical data based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle. However, they can be ineffective when detecting anomalies in heterogeneous…

Hierarchical clustering is a stronger extension of one of today's most influential unsupervised learning methods: clustering. The goal of this method is to create a hierarchy of clusters, thus constructing cluster evolutionary history and…

Multiple kernel clustering (MKC) is committed to achieving optimal information fusion from a set of base kernels. Constructing precise and local kernel matrices is proved to be of vital significance in applications since the unreliable…

We consider the problem of causal structure learning in the setting of heterogeneous populations, i.e., populations in which a single causal structure does not adequately represent all population members, as is common in biological and…

Markov population models (MPMs) are a widely used modelling formalism in the area of computational biology and related areas. The semantics of a MPM is an infinite-state continuous-time Markov chain. In this paper, we use the established…

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.…

In this paper we present a new model and an algorithm for unsupervised clustering of 2-D data such as images. We assume that the data comes from a union of multilinear subspaces (UOMS) model, which is a specific structured case of the much…

Data set composed of categorical features is very common in big data analysis tasks. Since categorical features are usually with a limited number of qualitative possible values, the nested granular cluster effect is prevalent in the…

Clustering is one of the most common unsupervised learning tasks in machine learning and data mining. Clustering algorithms have been used in a plethora of applications across several scientific fields. However, there has been limited…

Kernel approximation via nonlinear random feature maps is widely used in speeding up kernel machines. There are two main challenges for the conventional kernel approximation methods. First, before performing kernel approximation, a good…

In this paper, we consider nonparametric clustering of $M$ independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data sequences generated from {\em unknown} distributions. The distributions of the $M$ data sequences belong to $K$ underlying…

Community detection remains an important problem in data mining, owing to the lack of scalable algorithms that exploit all aspects of available data - namely the directionality of flow of information and the dynamics thereof. Most existing…

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a powerful methodology for the approximation of posterior distributions. However, the iterative nature of MCMC does not naturally facilitate its use with modern highly parallel computation on HPC and cloud…

The algorithmic Markov condition states that the most likely causal direction between two random variables X and Y can be identified as that direction with the lowest Kolmogorov complexity. Due to the halting problem, however, this notion…

Improved understanding of charge-transport in single molecules is essential for harnessing the potential of molecules e.g. as circuit components at the ultimate size limit. However, interpretation and analysis of the large, stochastic…

Kernel-based clustering algorithm can identify and capture the non-linear structure in datasets, and thereby it can achieve better performance than linear clustering. However, computing and storing the entire kernel matrix occupy so large…

Spectral clustering refers to a family of unsupervised learning algorithms that compute a spectral embedding of the original data based on the eigenvectors of a similarity graph. This non-linear transformation of the data is both the key of…

Multiple datasets containing different types of features may be available for a given task. For instance, users' profiles can be used to group users for recommendation systems. In addition, a model can also use users' historical behaviors…

A data filtering method for cluster analysis is proposed, based on minimizing a least squares function with a weighted $\ell_0$-norm penalty. To overcome the discontinuity of the objective function, smooth non-convex functions are employed…

Nonlinear subspace clustering based on a feed-forward neural network has been demonstrated to provide better clustering accuracy than some advanced subspace clustering algorithms. While this approach demonstrates impressive outcomes, it…
