- Abstract: Grouping similar objects is a fundamental tool of scientific analysis,
ubiquitous in disciplines from biology and chemistry to astronomy and pattern
recognition. Inspired by the torque balance that exists in gravitational
interactions when galaxies merge, we propose a novel clustering method based on
two natural properties of the universe: mass and distance. The concept of
torque describing the interactions of mass and distance forms the basis of the
proposed parameter-free clustering algorithm, which harnesses torque balance to
recognize any cluster, regardless of shape, size, or density. The gravitational
interactions govern the merger process, while the concept of torque balance
reveals partitions that do not conform to the natural order for removal.
Experiments on benchmark data sets show the enormous versatility of the
proposed algorithm.

This paper introduces several ideas of emergent gravity, which come from a system similar to an ensemble of quantum spin-$tfrac12$ particles.
To derive a physically relevant theory, the model is constructed by quantizing a scalar field in curved space-time.

Superposition of Geometries [0.0]
Protocols for observing gravity induced entanglement typically comprise the interaction of two particles.
In both cases the appearance of entanglement, within linearised quantum gravity, is due to gravity being in a highly non-classical state.
We conclude that the two usual protocols are due to gravity being in a highly non-classical state.

The mass of the universe is a distribution of non-zero values of gravitational constraints.
A formulation of the Euclidean quantum theory of gravity is also proposed to determine the initial state.
Being unrelated to ordinary matter, the distribution of its own mass affects the geometry of space.

This paper proposes a new resilient technique for simultaneous registration of multiple point sets by interpreting the latter as particle swarms rigidly moving in the mutually induced force fields.
Thanks to the improved simulation with altered physical laws and acceleration of globally multiply-linked point interactions, our Multi-Body Gravitational Approach (MBGA) is robust to noise and missing data.
In various experimental settings, MBGA is shown to outperform several baseline point set alignment approaches in terms of accuracy and runtime.

This paper explores the problem of clustering ensemble, which aims to combine multiple base clusterings to produce better performance than that of the individual one.
We propose a novel low-rank tensor approximation-based method to solve the problem from a global perspective.
Experimental results over 7 benchmark data sets show that the proposed model achieves a breakthrough in clustering performance, compared with 12 state-of-the-art methods.
