• Abstract: A novel clustering technique based on the projection onto convex set (POCS) method, called POCS-based clustering algorithm, is proposed in this paper. The proposed POCS-based clustering algorithm exploits a parallel projection method of POCS to find appropriate cluster prototypes in the feature space. The algorithm considers each data point as a convex set and projects the cluster prototypes parallelly to the member data points. The projections are convexly combined to minimize the objective function for data clustering purpose. The performance of the proposed POCS-based clustering algorithm is verified through experiments on various synthetic datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed POCS-based clustering algorithm is competitive and efficient in terms of clustering error and execution speed when compared with other conventional clustering methods including Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and K-means clustering algorithms.

  We propose a deep embedding clustering algorithm driven by sample stability (DECS) Specifically, we start by constructing the initial feature space with an autoencoder and then learn the cluster-oriented embedding feature constrained by sample stability. The experimental results on five datasets illustrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art clustering approaches.

  The paper proposes a family of communication efficient methods for distributed learning in heterogeneous environments. One-shot approach, based on local computations at the users and a clustering based aggregation step at the server is shown to provide strong learning guarantees. For strongly convex problems it is shown that, as long as the number of data points per user is above a threshold, the proposed approach achieves order-optimal mean-squared error rates in terms of the sample size.

  We propose the use of determinantal point processes or DPP for the random restart of clustering algorithms. DPPs favor diversity of the center points within subsets. We show through simulations that, contrary to DPP, this technique fails both to ensure diversity, and to obtain a good coverage of all data facets.
