Purpose: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data acquired through resting-state studies have been used to obtain information about the spontaneous activations inside the brain. One of the approaches for analysis and interpretation…

Deep learning models have become widely adopted in various domains, but their performance heavily relies on a vast amount of data. Datasets often contain a large number of irrelevant or redundant samples, which can lead to computational…

This paper proposes the use of an optimization algorithm, namely PSO to decide the initial centroids in K-means, to eventually get better accuracy. The vectorized notation of the optimal centroids can be thought of as entities in an…

We present methods for k-means clustering on a stream with a focus on providing fast responses to clustering queries. Compared to the current state-of-the-art, our methods provide substantial improvement in the query time for cluster…

Clustering is a ubiquitous task in data science. Compared to the commonly used $k$-means clustering, $k$-medoids clustering requires the cluster centers to be actual data points and support arbitrary distance metrics, which permits greater…

Center-based clustering is a fundamental primitive for data analysis and becomes very challenging for large datasets. In this paper, we focus on the popular $k$-median and $k$-means variants which, given a set $P$ of points from a metric…

We study in this paper the problem of maintaining a solution to $k$-median and $k$-means clustering in a fully dynamic setting. To do so, we present an algorithm to efficiently maintain a coreset, a compressed version of the dataset, that…

In the era of big data, k-means clustering has been widely adopted as a basic processing tool in various contexts. However, its computational cost could be prohibitively high as the data size and the cluster number are large. It is well…

We present approximation algorithms for some variants of center-based clustering and related problems in the fully dynamic setting, where the pointset evolves through an arbitrary sequence of insertions and deletions. Specifically, we…

In this paper we provide a fully distributed implementation of the k-means clustering algorithm, intended for wireless sensor networks where each agent is endowed with a possibly high-dimensional observation (e.g., position, humidity,…

A robust clustering method for probabilities in Wasserstein space is introduced. This new "trimmed $k$-barycenters" approach relies on recent results on barycenters in Wasserstein space that allow intensive computation, as required by…

The analysis of continously larger datasets is a task of major importance in a wide variety of scientific fields. In this sense, cluster analysis algorithms are a key element of exploratory data analysis, due to their easiness in the…

We consider $K$-means clustering in networked environments (e.g., internet of things (IoT) and sensor networks) where data is inherently distributed across nodes and processing power at each node may be limited. We consider a clustering…

We study the $k$-median with discounts problem, wherein we are given clients with non-negative discounts and seek to open at most $k$ facilities. The goal is to minimize the sum of distances from each client to its nearest open facility…

Metric $k$-center clustering is a fundamental unsupervised learning primitive. Although widely used, this primitive is heavily affected by noise in the data, so that a more sensible variant seeks for the best solution that disregards a…

Prototype-based clustering algorithms such as k-means are sensitive to the selection of initial cluster centroids, with poor initialization leading to slower convergence and suboptimal solutions trapped in local minima. We present Adaptive…

In this work, two new initialization methods for K-means clustering are proposed. Both proposals are based on applying a divide-and-conquer approach for the K-means|| type of an initialization strategy. The second proposal also utilizes…

In this paper we initiate a systematic study of exact algorithms for well-known clustering problems, namely $k$-Median and $k$-Means. In $k$-Median, the input consists of a set $X$ of $n$ points belonging to a metric space, and the task is…

Cluster analysis plays an important role in decision making process for many knowledge-based systems. There exist a wide variety of different approaches for clustering applications including the heuristic techniques, probabilistic models,…

Many measurement modalities which perform imaging by probing an object pixel-by-pixel, such as via Photoacoustic Microscopy, produce a multi-dimensional feature (typically a time-domain signal) at each pixel. In principle, the many degrees…
