This survey reviews a clustering method based on solving a convex optimization problem. Despite the plethora of existing clustering methods, convex clustering has several uncommon features that distinguish it from prior art. The…
In the Correlation Clustering problem, we are given a complete weighted graph $G$ with its edges labeled as "similar" and "dissimilar" by a noisy binary classifier. For a clustering $\mathcal{C}$ of graph $G$, a similar edge is in…
The determination of cluster centers generally depends on the scale that we use to analyze the data to be clustered. Inappropriate scale usually leads to unreasonable cluster centers and thus unreasonable results. In this study, we first…
Based on methods of structural convergence we provide a unifying view of local-global convergence, fitting to model theory and analysis. The general approach outlined here provides a possibility to extend the theory of local-global…
We present a generator of random networks where both the degree-dependent clustering coefficient and the degree distribution are tunable. Following the same philosophy as in the configuration model, the degree distribution and the…
Convex clustering refers, for given $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^p$, to the minimization of \begin{eqnarray*} u(\gamma) & = & \underset{u_1, \dots, u_n }{\arg\min}\;\sum_{i=1}^{n}{\lVert x_i - u_i \rVert^2} + \gamma…
The graph theoretic properties of the clustering coefficient, characteristic (or average) path length, global and local efficiency, provide valuable information regarding the structure of a graph. These four properties have applications to…
How do vertices exert influence in graph data? We develop a framework for edge clustering, a new method for exploratory data analysis that reveals how both vertices and edges collaboratively accomplish directed influence in graphs,…
Many empirical networks display an inherent tendency to cluster, i.e. to form circles of connected nodes. This feature is typically measured by the clustering coefficient (CC). The CC, originally introduced for binary, undirected graphs,…
An important source of high clustering coefficient in real-world networks is transitivity. However, existing approaches for modeling transitivity suffer from at least one of the following problems: i) they produce graphs from a specific…
We offer a solution to a long-standing problem in the physics of networks, the creation of a plausible, solvable model of a network that displays clustering or transitivity -- the propensity for two neighbors of a network node also to be…
Clustering is a fundamental tool for analyzing large data sets. A rich body of work has been devoted to designing data-stream algorithms for the relevant optimization problems such as $k$-center, $k$-median, and $k$-means. Such algorithms…
Graphs have become increasingly popular in modeling structures and interactions in a wide variety of problems during the last decade. Graph-based clustering and semi-supervised classification techniques have shown impressive performance.…
We investigate the community detection problem on graphs in the existence of multiple edge types. Our main motivation is that similarity between objects can be defined by many different metrics and aggregation of these metrics into a single…
Graph clustering is a fundamental task in unsupervised learning with broad real-world applications. While spectral clustering methods for undirected graphs are well-established and guided by a minimum cut optimization consensus, their…
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…
Algorithms for node clustering typically focus on finding homophilous structure in graphs. That is, they find sets of similar nodes with many edges within, rather than across, the clusters. However, graphs often also exhibit heterophilous…
We study the large sample behavior of a convex clustering framework, which minimizes the sample within cluster sum of squares under an~$\ell_1$ fusion constraint on the cluster centroids. This recently proposed approach has been gaining in…
This paper presents a novel geometrical approach to investigate the convexity of a density-based cluster. Our approach is grid-based and we are about to calibrate the value space of the cluster. However, the cluster objects are coming from…
Multilayer graphs are commonly used for representing different relations between entities and handling heterogeneous data processing tasks. New challenges arise in multilayer graph clustering for assigning clusters to a common multilayer…
