Maximum margin clustering (MMC) is a recently proposed clustering method, which extends the theory of support vector machine to the unsupervised scenario and aims at finding the m...
We present a novel algorithm for agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on evaluating marginal likelihoods of a probabilistic model. This algorithm has several advantages ove...
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...
We study the interaction between global and local techniques in data mining. Specifically, we study the collections of frequent sets in clusters produced by a probabilistic clust...
We propose an approximate Bayesian approach for unsupervised feature selection and density estimation, where the importance of the features for clustering is used as the measure f...
