On solving symmetric multi-type orthogonal non-negative matrix tri-factorization problem

arXiv:2606. 08291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the symmetric multi-type orthogonal non-negative matrix tri-factorization problem, where several symmetric non-negative matrices are simultaneously approximated by factors of the form $GS_{i}G^{\top}$, with a shared non-negative and orthogonal factor $G$.

Incremental (k, z)-Clustering on Graphs

arXiv:2602. 08542v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a weighted undirected graph, a number of clusters $k$, and an exponent $z$, the goal in the $(k, z)$-clustering problem on graphs is to select $k$ vertices as centers that minimize the sum of the distances raised to the power $z$ of each vertex to its closest center.

Doubly Stochastic Adaptive Neighbors Clustering via the Marcus Mapping

The paper introduces the Marcus mapping, an extension of Marcus theorem that allows certain sparse symmetric matrices to be transformed into doubly stochastic symmetric matrices via diagonal matrices. Leveraging this mapping, the authors propose the Doubly Stochastic Adaptive Neighbors Clustering algorithm (ANCMM), which incorporates rank constraints to ensure the learned similarity graph naturally partitions into the desired number of clusters. Experiments demonstrate ANCMM’s effectiveness compared to state‑of‑the‑art methods, and the authors also establish a connection between the Marcus mapping and a specific optimal transport problem.
