arXiv:2511. 03000v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Comparing clusterings is central to evaluating unsupervised models, yet the many existing similarity measures can produce widely divergent, sometimes contradictory, evaluations.
arXiv:2607. 20799v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalar metrics are often used to evaluate clusterings against known classes, but they can obscure a fundamental trade-off: clusterings should be informative about class labels while avoiding unnecessary fragmentation.
arXiv:2607. 05464v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The success of categorical data clustering generally much relies on the distance metric that measures the dissimilarity degree between two objects.
arXiv:2608. 07881v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clustering mixed tabular data requires a unified metric space to bridge the inherent heterogeneity between continuous numerical measurements and discrete categorical symbols.
arXiv:2608. 06990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clustering is a fundamental data mining technique for pattern recognition through unsupervised learning.
arXiv:2606. 05230v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Selecting a clustering algorithm and its hyperparameters without labels is a common difficulty in engineering machine learning pipelines that work with unsupervised analysis of sensor, image, or process data.
arXiv:2607. 27660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Submodular Information Measures (SIMs) have recently emerged as a powerful framework for representation learning and multimodal learning.
arXiv:2606. 28328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, text clustering has become a critical technique for applications including intent discovery, topic mining, and recommendation systems.
Submodular Information Measures (SIMs) have recently emerged as a powerful framework for representation learning and multimodal learning. In particular, the SCORE framework~\cite{majee2024score} demonstrated that SIMs can serve as effective objectives for supervised contrastive learning.
arXiv:2606. 19643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the privacy, sensitivity and sharing limitations of health data, we present a comprehensive pipeline for inference of Bayesian mixture models within a federated learning setting, i.
arXiv:2606. 29118v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based narrative extraction relies on a coherence function to score transitions between events, but the coherence metrics in current use are defined operationally and lack an information-theoretic foundation.
arXiv:2604. 23628v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hierarchical clustering is a fundamental task in data analysis, but classical methods have long lacked a principled objective function.
The paper critiques the normalized edit distance metric used for evaluating lexicons derived from unsupervised word discovery, noting its bias toward large clusters and its failure to account for the distribution of true classes across clusters. It proposes two new metrics—one that weights cluster size when measuring within‑cluster consistency and another that evaluates how true words are spread across clusters—drawing on clustering theory. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world lexicons show that these combined metrics better correlate with ground‑truth distributions and are more robust to evaluation biases.
