• Abstract: Cluster analysis relies on effective benchmarks for evaluating and comparing different algorithms. Simulation studies on synthetic data are popular because important features of the data sets, such as the overlap between clusters, or the variation in cluster shapes, can be effectively varied. Unfortunately, curating evaluation scenarios is often laborious, as practitioners must find lower-level geometric parameters (like cluster covariance matrices) to match a higher-level scenario description like "clusters with very different shapes." To make benchmarks more convenient and informative, we propose synthetic data generation based on data set archetypes. In this paradigm, the user describes an evaluation scenario in a high-level manner, and the software automatically generates data sets with the desired characteristics. Combining such data set archetypes with large language models (LLMs), it is possible to set up benchmarks purely from verbal descriptions of the evaluation scenarios. We provide an open-source Python package, repliclust, that implements this workflow. A demo of data generation from verbal inputs is available at https://demo.repliclust.org.

  Large language models (LLM) have been used for diverse tasks, but do not capture the correct correlation between the features and the target variable. We propose a LLM-based method with three important improvements to correctly capture the ground-truth feature-class correlation in the real data. Our experiments show that our method significantly outperforms 10 SOTA baselines on 20 datasets in downstream tasks.

  This paper explores a more natural way to incorporate both numerical and categorical information into the spectral clustering algorithm. We propose adding extra nodes corresponding to the different categories the data may belong to and show that it leads to an interpretable clustering objective function. We demonstrate that this simple framework leads to a linear-time spectral clustering algorithm for categorical-only data.

  The proposed meta-learning approach relies on machine learning and involves four major steps. We present a collection of 62 meta-features that address the problem of information cancellation when aggregation measure values involving positive and negative measurements. We show that our meta-learning approach can correctly predict an optimal model for 91% of the synthetic datasets and for 87% of the real-world datasets.
