Recovering the underlying clustering of a set $U$ of $n$ points by asking pair-wise same-cluster queries has garnered significant interest in the last decade. Given a query $S \subset U$, $|S|=2$, the oracle returns yes if the points are in…

This paper investigates graph clustering in the planted cluster model in the presence of {\em small clusters}. Traditional results dictate that for an algorithm to provably correctly recover the clusters, {\em all} clusters must be…

Deep clustering aims to learn a clustering representation through deep architectures. Most of the existing methods usually conduct clustering with the unique goal of maximizing clustering performance, that ignores the personalized demand of…

This paper initiates the study of active learning for exact recovery of partitions exclusively through access to a same-cluster oracle in the presence of bounded adversarial error. We first highlight a novel connection between learning…

We consider the approximability of center-based clustering problems where the points to be clustered lie in a metric space, and no candidate centers are specified. We call such problems "continuous", to distinguish from "discrete"…

It is shown how data on the cluster correlation function can be used in order to reconstruct the density of the pregalactic density field on the cluster mass scale. The method is applied to the data on the cluster correlation amplitude --…

This paper considers a canonical clustering problem where one receives unlabeled samples drawn from a balanced mixture of two elliptical distributions and aims for a classifier to estimate the labels. Many popular methods including PCA and…

We have developed a new geometrical method for identifying and reconstructing a homogeneous and highly complete set of galaxy groups in the next generation of deep, flux-limited redshift surveys. Our method combines information from the…

In this paper, we address the problem of recovering arbitrary-shaped data clusters from datasets while facing \emph{high space constraints}, as this is for instance the case in many real-world applications when analysis algorithms are…

We study optimization problems in a metric space $(\mathcal{X},d)$ where we can compute distances in two ways: via a ''strong'' oracle that returns exact distances $d(x,y)$, and a ''weak'' oracle that returns distances $\tilde{d}(x,y)$…

Bateni et al. has recently introduced the weak-strong distance oracle model to study clustering problems in settings with limited distance information. Given query access to the strong-oracle and weak-oracle in the weak-strong oracle model,…

An exponential-time exact algorithm is provided for the task of clustering n items of data into k clusters. Instead of seeking one partition, posterior probabilities are computed for summary statistics: the number of clusters, and pairwise…

The reconstruction of the density profile in clusters of galaxies from the distortion of the images of faint background galaxies is reconsidered. The inversion formula of Kaiser \& Squires is known to provide a quantitative way to perform…

The problem of variable clustering is that of grouping similar components of a $p$-dimensional vector $X=(X_{1},\ldots,X_{p})$, and estimating these groups from $n$ independent copies of $X$. When cluster similarity is defined via…

Density-based clustering aims to find groups of similar objects (i.e., clusters) in a given dataset. Applications include, e.g., process mining and anomaly detection. It comes with two user parameters ({\epsilon}, MinPts) that determine the…

Network clustering tackles the problem of identifying sets of nodes (communities) that have similar connection patterns. However, in many scenarios, nodes also have attributes that are correlated with the clustering structure. Thus, network…

Clustering algorithms can help reconstruct the assembly history of the Milky Way by identifying groups of stars sharing similar properties in a kinematical or chemical abundance space. Despite being promising tools, their efficiency has not…

We study the problem of learning to cluster data points using an oracle which can answer same-cluster queries. Different from previous approaches, we do not assume that the total number of clusters is known at the beginning and do not…

In this paper we introduce three methods for re-scaling data sets aiming at improving the likelihood of clustering validity indexes to return the true number of spherical Gaussian clusters with additional noise features. Our method obtains…

The density and velocity fields as extracted from the Abell/ACO clusters are compared to the corresponding fields recovered by the POTENT method from the Mark~III peculiar velocities of galaxies. In order to minimize non-linear effects and…
