The integration of semantic information in a map allows robots to understand better their environment and make high-level decisions. In the last few years, neural networks have shown enormous progress in their perception capabilities.…

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive technique widely used for the detection of cardiac diseases. To increase diagnostic…

In a standard cluster analysis, such as k-means, in addition to clusters locations and distances between them, it's important to know if they are connected or well separated from each other. The main focus of this paper is discovering the…

This study addresses the problem of performing clustering in the presence of two types of background knowledge: pairwise constraints and monotonicity constraints. To achieve this, the formal framework to perform clustering under…

Cluster validity indexes are very important tools designed for two purposes: comparing the performance of clustering algorithms and determining the number of clusters that best fits the data. These indexes are in general constructed by…

Collective phenomena emerge from the interaction of natural or artificial units with a complex organization. The interplay between structural patterns and dynamics might induce functional clusters that, in general, are different from…

We propose a novel method of introducing structure into existing machine learning techniques by developing structure-based similarity and distance measures. To learn structural information, low-dimensional structure of the data is captured…

Time series clustering is the act of grouping time series data without recourse to a label. Algorithms that cluster time series can be classified into two groups: those that employ a time series specific distance measure; and those that…

Using edge weights is essential for modeling real-world systems where links possess relevant information, and preserving this information in low-dimensional representations is relevant for classification and prediction tasks. This paper…

It has been hypothesized that some form of "modular" structure in artificial neural networks should be useful for learning, compositionality, and generalization. However, defining and quantifying modularity remains an open problem. We cast…

Clustering is a fundamental unsupervised learning approach. Many clustering algorithms -- such as $k$-means -- rely on the euclidean distance as a similarity measure, which is often not the most relevant metric for high dimensional data…

P300 is an Event-Related Potential widely used in Brain-Computer Interfaces, but its detection is challenging due to inter-subject and temporal variability. This work introduces a clustering methodology based on Normalized Compression…

In Small Area Estimation data linkage can be used to combine values of the variableof interest from a national survey with values of auxiliary variables obtained from another source like a population register. Linkage errors can induce bias…

We present a new approach to the calculation of measures in weighted networks, based on the translation of a weighted network into an ensemble of edges. This leads to a straightforward generalization of any measure defined on unweighted…

The classification of multivariate functional data is an important task in scientific research. Unlike point-wise data, functional data are usually classified by their shapes rather than by their scales. We define an outlyingness matrix by…

This note investigates the problem of detecting outliers in longitudinal data. It compares well-known methods used in official statistics with proposals from the fields of data mining and machine learning that are based on the distance…

A task of clustering data given in the ordinal scale under conditions of overlapping clusters has been considered. It's proposed to use an approach based on memberhsip and likelihood functions sharing. A number of performed experiments…

In multivariate time series systems, key insights can be obtained by discovering lead-lag relationships inherent in the data, which refer to the dependence between two time series shifted in time relative to one another, and which can be…

This paper is a comparison study in the context of Topic Detection on COVID-19 data. There are various approaches for Topic Detection, among which the Clustering approach is selected in this paper. Clustering requires distance and…

This paper considers the problem of outlier detection in functional data analysis focusing particularly on the more difficult case of shape outliers. We present an inductive conformal anomaly detection method based on elastic functional…
