• Abstract: Thanks to their dependency structure, non-parametric Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are able to handle model-based clustering without specifying group distributions. The aim of this work is to study the Bayes risk of clustering when using HMMs and to propose associated clustering procedures. We first give a result linking the Bayes risk of classification and the Bayes risk of clustering, which we use to identify the key quantity determining the difficulty of the clustering task. We also give a proof of this result in the i.i.d. framework, which might be of independent interest. Then we study the excess risk of the plugin classifier. All these results are shown to remain valid in the online setting where observations are clustered sequentially. Simulations illustrate our findings.

  We introduce clusterBMA, a method that enables weighted model averaging across results from unsupervised clustering algorithms. We use clustering internal validation criteria to develop an approximation of the posterior model probability, used for weighting the results from each model. In addition to outperforming other ensemble clustering methods on simulated data, clusterBMA offers unique features including probabilistic allocation to averaged clusters.

  Most existing deep clustering methods are based on simple distance comparison and highly dependent on the target distribution generated by a handcrafted nonlinear mapping. A novel modular Self-Evolutionary Clustering (Self-EvoC) framework is constructed, which boosts the clustering performance by classification in a self-supervised manner. The framework can efficiently discriminate sample outliers and generate better target distribution with the assistance of self-supervised.

  We extend the mainstream contrastive learning paradigm to a cluster-level scheme, where all the data subjected to the same cluster contribute to a unified representation. We define a set of categorical variables as clustering assignment confidence, which links the instance-level learning track with the cluster-level one. By reparametrizing the assignment variables, TCC is trained end-to-end, requiring no alternating steps.

A key contribution of our work is the observation that PSMs are positive semi-definite, and hence can be used to define probabilistically-motivated kernel matrices.
