— The Self-Organising Map is a popular unsupervised neural network model which has successfully been used for clustering various kinds of data. To help in understanding the infl...
We study the problem of finding the dominant eigenvector of the sample covariance matrix, under additional constraints on the vector: a cardinality constraint limits the number of...
A good distance metric is crucial for many data mining tasks. To learn a metric in the unsupervised setting, most metric learning algorithms project observed data to a lowdimensio...
An unsupervised classification algorithm is derived by modeling observed data as a mixture of several mutually exclusive classes that are each described by linear combinations of i...
: Organizing data into sensible groupings is one of the most fundamental modes of understanding and learning. As an example, a common scheme of scientific classification puts organ...
