Computer vision and machine learning tools offer an exciting new way for automatically analyzing and categorizing information from complex computer simulations. Here we design an ensemble machine learning framework that can independently…

Background. Clustering analysis discovers hidden structures in a data set by partitioning them into disjoint clusters. Robust accuracy measures that evaluate the goodness of clustering results are critical for algorithm development and…

Ensemble clustering is a fundamental problem in the machine learning field, combining multiple base clusterings into a better clustering result. However, most of the existing methods are unsuitable for large-scale ensemble clustering tasks…

In this article, a new method, called FWP, is proposed for clustering longitudinal curves. In the proposed method, clusters of mean functions are identified through a weighted concave pairwise fusion method. The EM algorithm and the…

To better understand the spatial structure of large panels of economic and financial time series and provide a guideline for constructing semiparametric models, this paper first considers estimating a large spatial covariance matrix of the…

When scholars suspect units are dependent on each other within clusters but independent of each other across clusters, they employ cluster-robust standard errors (CRSEs). Nevertheless, what to cluster over is sometimes unknown. For…

Selective clustering annotated using modes of projections (SCAMP) is a new clustering algorithm for data in $\mathbb{R}^p$. SCAMP is motivated from the point of view of non-parametric mixture modeling. Rather than maximizing a…

Optimizing portfolio performance is a fundamental challenge in financial modeling, requiring the integration of advanced clustering techniques and data-driven optimization strategies. This paper introduces a comparative backtesting approach…

Clustering is a widely used unsupervised learning method for finding structure in the data. However, the resulting clusters are typically presented without any guarantees on their robustness; slightly changing the used data sample or…

Ensemble clustering aggregates multiple weak clusterings to achieve a more accurate and robust consensus result. The Co-Association matrix (CA matrix) based method is the mainstream ensemble clustering approach that constructs the…

When solving real-world problems, practitioners often hesitate to implement solutions obtained from mathematical models, especially for important decisions. This hesitation stems from practitioners' lack of trust in optimization models and…

Identifying a suitable set of descriptors for modeling physical systems often utilizes either deep physical insights or statistical methods such as compressed sensing. In statistical learning, a class of methods known as structured sparsity…

This paper explores the problem of clustering ensemble, which aims to combine multiple base clusterings to produce better performance than that of the individual one. The existing clustering ensemble methods generally construct a…

The cross entropy (CE) method is a model based search method to solve optimization problems where the objective function has minimal structure. The Monte-Carlo version of the CE method employs the naive sample averaging technique which is…

Most of the research on clustering ensemble focuses on designing practical consistency learning algorithms.To solve the problems that the quality of base clusters varies and the low-quality base clusters have an impact on the performance of…

The conventional clustering algorithms mine static databases and generate a set of patterns in the form of clusters. Many real life databases keep growing incrementally. For such dynamic databases, the patterns extracted from the original…

In data containing heterogeneous subpopulations, classification performance benefits from incorporating the knowledge of cluster structure in the classifier. Previous methods for such combined clustering and classification either 1) are…

Automatic feature engineering is an effective approach for improving predictive performance in tabular learning. However, expand-and-reduce methods, such as OpenFE, become increasingly computationally expensive as the input dimensionality…

We propose Few-Example Clustering (FEC), a novel algorithm that performs contrastive learning to cluster few examples. Our method is composed of the following three steps: (1) generation of candidate cluster assignments, (2) contrastive…

Cluster analysis requires many decisions: the clustering method and the implied reference model, the number of clusters and, often, several hyper-parameters and algorithms' tunings. In practice, one produces several partitions, and a final…
