It is well known that the classical single linkage algorithm usually fails to identify clusters in the presence of outliers. In this paper, we propose a new version of this algorithm, and we study its mathematical performances. In…

An algorithm to improve performance parameter for unsupervised decision forest clustering and density estimation is presented. Specifically, a dual assignment parameter is introduced as a density estimator by combining Random Forest and…

An applied problem facing all areas of data science is harmonizing data sources. Joining data from multiple origins with unmapped and only partially overlapping features is a prerequisite to developing and testing robust, generalizable…

Cluster analysis relates to the task of assigning objects into groups which ideally present some desirable characteristics. When a cluster structure is confined to a subset of the feature space, traditional clustering techniques face…

A new approach to clustering, based on the physical properties of inhomogeneous coupled chaotic maps, is presented. A chaotic map is assigned to each data-point and short range couplings are introduced. The stationary regime of the system…

Cluster deletion is an NP-hard graph clustering objective with applications in computational biology and social network analysis, where the goal is to delete a minimum number of edges to partition a graph into cliques. We first provide a…

This paper describes a clustering method to group the most similar and important weblogs with their descriptive shared words by using a technique from multilinear algebra known as PARAFAC tensor decomposition. The proposed method first…

The following study presents a collocation extraction approach based on clustering technique. This study uses a combination of several classical measures which cover all aspects of a given corpus then it suggests separating bigrams found in…

This paper presents centralized and distributed Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) frameworks for solving large-scale nonconvex optimization problems with binary decision variables subject to spanning tree or rooted…

Clustering is an unsupervised technique of Data Mining. It means grouping similar objects together and separating the dissimilar ones. Each object in the data set is assigned a class label in the clustering process using a distance measure.…

We consider the problem of model-based clustering in the presence of many correlated, mixed continuous and discrete variables, some of which may have missing values. Discrete variables are treated with a latent continuous variable approach…

We propose a change-point detection method for large scale multiple testing problems with data having clustered signals. Unlike the classic change-point setup, the signals can vary in size within a cluster. The clustering structure on the…

In standard clustering problems, data points are represented by vectors, and by stacking them together, one forms a data matrix with row or column cluster structure. In this paper, we consider a class of binary matrices, arising in many…

Model-based clustering integrated with variable selection is a powerful tool for uncovering latent structures within complex data. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by challenges such as identifying relevant variables that define…

The clustering algorithms that view each object data as a single sample drawn from a certain distribution, Gaussian distribution, for example, has been a hot topic for decades. Many clustering algorithms: such as k-means and spectral…

One of the main challenges in data mining is choosing the optimal number of clusters without prior information. Notably, existing methods are usually in the philosophy of cluster validation and hence have underlying assumptions on data…

Multi-view clustering aims at integrating complementary information from multiple heterogeneous views to improve clustering results. Existing multi-view clustering solutions can only output a single clustering of the data. Due to their…

k-medoids algorithm is a partitional, centroid-based clustering algorithm which uses pairwise distances of data points and tries to directly decompose the dataset with $n$ points into a set of $k$ disjoint clusters. However, k-medoids…

In this work we study the interleaving distance between merge trees from a combinatorial point of view. We use a particular type of matching between trees to obtain a novel formulation of the distance. With such formulation, we tackle the…

We address the problem of un-supervised soft-clustering called micro-clustering. The aim of the problem is to enumerate all groups composed of records strongly related to each other, while standard clustering methods separate records at…
