• Abstract summary: Extended Vision techniques often pose a challenge in their interpretation. The huge dimensionality of data cube spectra poses a complex task in its statistical interpretation. In this paper, we explore the possibility of applying unsupervised clustering methods in encoded space. A statistical dimensional reduction is performed by an ad hoc trained (Variational) AutoEncoder, while the clustering process is performed by a (learnable) iterative K-Means clustering algorithm.

• Abstract: Extended Vision techniques are ubiquitous in physics. However, the data cubes steaming from such analysis often pose a challenge in their interpretation, due to the intrinsic difficulty in discerning the relevant information from the spectra composing the data cube. Furthermore, the huge dimensionality of data cube spectra poses a complex task in its statistical interpretation; nevertheless, this complexity contains a massive amount of statistical information that can be exploited in an unsupervised manner to outline some essential properties of the case study at hand, e.g.~it is possible to obtain an image segmentation via (deep) clustering of data-cube's spectra, performed in a suitably defined low-dimensional embedding space. To tackle this topic, we explore the possibility of applying unsupervised clustering methods in encoded space, i.e. perform deep clustering on the spectral properties of datacube pixels. A statistical dimensional reduction is performed by an ad hoc trained (Variational) AutoEncoder, in charge of mapping spectra into lower dimensional metric spaces, while the clustering process is performed by a (learnable) iterative K-Means clustering algorithm. We apply this technique to two different use cases, of different physical origins: a set of Macro mapping X-Ray Fluorescence (MA-XRF) synthetic data on pictorial artworks, and a dataset of simulated astrophysical observations.

  We take inspiration from traditional spectral segmentation methods by reframing image decomposition as a graph partitioning problem. We find that these eigenvectors already decompose an image into meaningful segments, and can be readily used to localize objects in a scene. By clustering the features associated with these segments across a dataset, we can obtain well-delineated, nameable regions.

  Dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques are frequently used to analyze complex data sets, but their results are often not easy to interpret. We consider how to support users in interpreting apparent cluster structure on scatter plots where the axes are not directly interpretable. We propose a new method to compute an interpretable clustering automatically, where the explanation is in the original high-dimensional space and the clustering is coherent in the low-dimensional projection.
