In this paper we make two novel contributions to hierarchical clustering. First, we introduce an anomalous pattern initialisation method for hierarchical clustering algorithms, called A-Ward, capable of substantially reducing the time they…

We investigate $k$-means clustering in the online no-substitution setting when the input arrives in \emph{arbitrary} order. In this setting, points arrive one after another, and the algorithm is required to instantly decide whether to take…

The k-means clustering is one of the most popular clustering algorithms in data mining. Recently a lot of research has been concentrated on the algorithm when the dataset is divided into multiple parties or when the dataset is too large to…

Identifying a set of homogeneous clusters in a heterogeneous dataset is one of the most important classes of problems in statistical modeling. In the realm of unsupervised partitional clustering, k-means is a very important algorithm for…

Subset selection is an important component in evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms. Clustering, as a classic method to group similar data points together, has been used for subset selection in some fields. However,…

This paper addresses the clustering of data in the hyperdimensional computing (HDC) domain. In prior work, an HDC-based clustering framework, referred to as HDCluster, has been proposed. However, the performance of the existing HDCluster is…

Color quantization is an important operation with numerous applications in graphics and image processing. Most quantization methods are essentially based on data clustering algorithms. However, despite its popularity as a general purpose…

In this paper, we compare three initialization schemes for the KMEANS clustering algorithm: 1) random initialization (KMEANSRAND), 2) KMEANS++, and 3) KMEANSD++. Both KMEANSRAND and KMEANS++ have a major that the value of k needs to be set…

K-Means algorithm is a popular clustering method. However, it has two limitations: 1) it gets stuck easily in spurious local minima, and 2) the number of clusters k has to be given a priori. To solve these two issues, a multi-prototypes…

This paper gives a k-means approximation algorithm that is efficient in the relational algorithms model. This is an algorithm that operates directly on a relational database without performing a join to convert it to a matrix whose rows…

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…

Deep learning models have become widely adopted in various domains, but their performance heavily relies on a vast amount of data. Datasets often contain a large number of irrelevant or redundant samples, which can lead to computational…

One basic requirement of many studies is the necessity of classifying data. Clustering is a proposed method for summarizing networks. Clustering methods can be divided into two categories named model-based approaches and algorithmic…

Bagging and boosting are proved to be the best methods of building multiple classifiers in classification combination problems. In the area of "flat clustering" problems, it is also recognized that multi-clustering methods based on boosting…

Several data mining problems are characterized by data in high dimensions. One of the popular ways to reduce the dimensionality of the data is to perform feature selection, i.e, select a subset of relevant and non-redundant features.…

Clustering algorithms are one of the main analytical methods to detect patterns in unlabeled data. Existing clustering methods typically treat samples in a dataset as points in a metric space and compute distances to group together similar…

This paper presents a neural network-based end-to-end clustering framework. We design a novel strategy to utilize the contrastive criteria for pushing data-forming clusters directly from raw data, in addition to learning a feature embedding…

Clustering methods are often used in physics education research (PER) to identify subgroups of individuals within a population who share similar response patterns or characteristics. K-means (or k-modes, for categorical data) is one of the…

The primary goal in cluster analysis is to discover natural groupings of objects. The field of cluster analysis is crowded with diverse methods that make special assumptions about data and address different scientific aims. Despite its…

Detection of change-points in a sequence of high-dimensional observations is a very challenging problem, and this becomes even more challenging when the sample size (i.e., the sequence length) is small. In this article, we propose some…
