K-Means clustering algorithm is one of the most commonly used clustering algorithms because of its simplicity and efficiency. K-Means clustering algorithm based on Euclidean distance only pays attention to the linear distance between…

In this paper two novel possibilistic clustering algorithms are presented, which utilize the concept of sparsity. The first one, called sparse possibilistic c-means, exploits sparsity and can deal well with closely located clusters that may…

Clustering problems are considered amongst the prominent challenges in statistics and computational science. Clustering of nodes in wireless sensor networks which is used to prolong the life-time of networks is one of the difficult tasks of…

Despite its popularity, it is widely recognized that the investigation of some theoretical aspects of clustering has been relatively sparse. One of the main reasons for this lack of theoretical results is surely the fact that, whereas for…

The goal of fair clustering is to find clusters such that the proportion of sensitive attributes (e.g., gender, race, etc.) in each cluster is similar to that of the entire dataset. Various fair clustering algorithms have been proposed that…

Estimating the number of clusters (K) is a critical and often difficult task in cluster analysis. Many methods have been proposed to estimate K, including some top performers using resampling approach. When performing cluster analysis in…

In real-world application scenarios, the identification of groups poses a significant challenge due to possibly occurring outliers and existing noise variables. Therefore, there is a need for a clustering method which is capable of…

K-Means clustering still plays an important role in many computer vision problems. While the conventional Lloyd method, which alternates between centroid update and cluster assignment, is primarily used in practice, it may converge to a…

Clustering is widely used for unsupervised structure discovery, yet it offers limited insight into how reliable each individual assignment is. Diagnostics, such as convergence behavior or objective values, may reflect global quality, but…

Federated Clustering (FC) is an emerging and promising solution in exploring data distribution patterns from distributed and privacy-protected data in an unsupervised manner. Existing FC methods implicitly rely on the assumption that…

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…

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…

To understand complex biological systems, the research community has produced huge corpus of gene expression data. A large number of clustering approaches have been proposed for the analysis of gene expression data. However, extracting…

Fuzzy K-Means clustering is a critical technique in unsupervised data analysis. Unlike traditional hard clustering algorithms such as K-Means, it allows data points to belong to multiple clusters with varying degrees of membership,…

Coresets are compact representations of data sets such that models trained on a coreset are provably competitive with models trained on the full data set. As such, they have been successfully used to scale up clustering models to massive…

Several methods have been proposed to estimate the number of clusters in a dataset; the basic ideal behind all of them has been to study an index that measures inter-cluster separation and intra-cluster cohesion over a range of cluster…

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…

Clustering is one of the widely used techniques to find out patterns from a dataset that can be applied in different applications or analyses. K-means, the most popular and simple clustering algorithm, might get trapped into local minima if…

Distributed signal processing for wireless sensor networks enables that different devices cooperate to solve different signal processing tasks. A crucial first step is to answer the question: who observes what? Recently, several distributed…

This paper concerns the critical decision process of extracting or selecting the features before applying a clustering algorithm. It is not obvious to evaluate the importance of the features since the most popular methods to do it are…
