Patchwork learning arises as a new and challenging data collection paradigm where both samples and features are observed in fragmented subsets. Due to technological limits, measurement expense, or multimodal data integration, such patchwork…

In longitudinal data analysis, observation points of repeated measurements over time often vary among subjects except in well-designed experimental studies. Additionally, measurements for each subject are typically obtained at only a few…

Traditionally, graph quality metrics focus on readability, but recent studies show the need for metrics which are more specific to the discovery of patterns in graphs. Cluster analysis is a popular task within graph analysis, yet there is…

We present a new fast online clustering algorithm that reliably recovers arbitrary-shaped data clusters in high throughout data streams. Unlike the existing state-of-the-art online clustering methods based on k-means or k-medoid, it does…

We propose an algorithm for clustering high dimensional data. If $P$ features for $N$ objects are represented in an $N\times P$ matrix ${\bf X}$, where $N\ll P$, the method is based on exploiting the cluster-dependent structure of the…

The prediction of phenotypic traits using high-density genomic data has many applications such as the selection of plants and animals of commercial interest; and it is expected to play an increasing role in medical diagnostics. Statistical…

Agricultural applications such as yield prediction, precision agriculture and automated harvesting need systems able to infer the crop state from low-cost sensing devices. Proximal sensing using affordable cameras combined with computer…

Clustering is a popular form of unsupervised learning for geometric data. Unfortunately, many clustering algorithms lead to cluster assignments that are hard to explain, partially because they depend on all the features of the data in a…

Spectral clustering has become a popular technique due to its high performance in many contexts. It comprises three main steps: create a similarity graph between N objects to cluster, compute the first k eigenvectors of its Laplacian matrix…

Common clustering algorithms require multiple scans of all the data to achieve convergence, and this is prohibitive when large databases, with data arriving in streams, must be processed. Some algorithms to extend the popular K-means method…

Crowd-sourcing is an increasingly popular tool for image analysis in animal ecology. Computer vision methods that can utilize crowd-sourced annotations can help scale up analysis further. In this work we study the potential to do so on the…

A natural way to characterize the cluster structure of a dataset is by finding regions containing a high density of data. This can be done in a nonparametric way with a kernel density estimate, whose modes and hence clusters can be found…

Microarray technology is a process that allows thousands of genes simultaneously monitor to various experimental conditions. It is used to identify the co-expressed genes in specific cells or tissues that are actively used to make proteins,…

In response to the need for learning tools tuned to big data analytics, the present paper introduces a framework for efficient clustering of huge sets of (possibly high-dimensional) data. Building on random sampling and consensus (RANSAC)…

Recent spectral clustering methods are a propular and powerful technique for data clustering. These methods need to solve the eigenproblem whose computational complexity is $O(n^3)$, where $n$ is the number of data samples. In this paper, a…

We design an interpretable clustering algorithm aware of the nonlinear structure of image manifolds. Our approach leverages the interpretability of $K$-means applied in the image space while addressing its clustering performance issues.…

We study clustering methods for binary data, first defining aggregation criteria that measure the compactness of clusters. Five new and original methods are introduced, using neighborhoods and population behavior combinatorial optimization…

Unsupervised machine learning offers significant opportunities for extracting knowledge from unlabeled data sets and for achieving maximum machine learning performance. This paper demonstrates how to construct, use, and evaluate a high…

The label-free model evaluation aims to predict the model performance on various test sets without relying on ground truths. The main challenge of this task is the absence of labels in the test data, unlike in classical supervised model…

For many applications, it is critical to interpret and validate groups of observations obtained via clustering. A common validation approach involves testing differences in feature means between observations in two estimated clusters. In…
