• Title: Unsupervised clustering of Roman pottery profiles from their SSAE representation
• Authors: Simone Parisotto and Alessandro Launaro and Ninetta Leone and Carola-Bibiane Sch\"onlieb
• Abstract summary: We introduce the ROman COmmonware POTtery (ROCOPOT) database, which comprises of more than 2000 black and white imaging profiles of pottery shapes extracted from 11 Roman catalogues. The partiality and the handcrafted variance of the shape fragments within this new database make their unsupervised clustering a very challenging problem. Results are commented both from a mathematical and archaeological perspective so as to unlock new research directions in the respective communities.

• Abstract: In this paper we introduce the ROman COmmonware POTtery (ROCOPOT) database, which comprises of more than 2000 black and white imaging profiles of pottery shapes extracted from 11 Roman catalogues and related to different excavation sites. The partiality and the handcrafted variance of the shape fragments within this new database make their unsupervised clustering a very challenging problem: profile similarities are thus explored via the hierarchical clustering of non-linear features learned in the latent representation space of a stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) network, unveiling new profile matches. Results are commented both from a mathematical and archaeological perspective so as to unlock new research directions in the respective communities.

  Federated learning enables decentralized clients to collaboratively learn a shared model while keeping all the training data local. We introduce a novel approach, FissionVAE, which decomposes the latent space and constructs decoder branches tailored to individual client groups. To evaluate our approach, we assemble two composite datasets: the first combines MNIST and FashionMNIST; the second comprises RGB datasets of cartoon and human faces, wild animals, marine vessels, and remote sensing images of Earth.

  Unsupervised learning aims to capture the underlying structure of potentially large and high-dimensional datasets. In this work, we revisit these approaches under the lens of optimal transport and exhibit relationships with the Gromov-Wasserstein problem. This unveils a new general framework, called distributional reduction, that recovers DR and clustering as special cases and allows addressing them jointly within a single optimization problem.

  We propose an artificial intelligence solution to support archaeologists in the classification task of Roman commonware potsherds. The partiality and handcrafted variance of the fragments make their matching a challenging problem. We propose to pair similar profiles via the unsupervised hierarchical clustering of non-linear features learned in the latent space of a deep convolutional Variational Autoencoder (VAE) network.
