arXiv:2502. 08397v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clustering is a fundamental technique in data analysis and machine learning, used to group similar data points together.
arXiv:2607. 09490v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Terminal embeddings have emerged as a powerful tool for dimension reduction.
arXiv:2607. 24237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many existing clustering methods are designed based on a set-oriented definition---a cluster is a set of similar points---relying a point-to-point similarity function to find similar points.
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.
arXiv:2606. 29261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We derive the linear union-of-subspaces (UoS) model for subspace clustering (SC) from the nonlinear mixture model (NMM) used in blind source separation (BSS) to represent a D-dimensional observation vector as an unknown multivariate nonlinear mapping of C latent variables.
arXiv:2607. 24537v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the Big Data era, the scalability of clustering algorithms constitutes a key challenge.
Clustering is a fundamental class of data analysis techniques with the most important representatives being centroid-based methods like $k$-means. Such methods are strongly connected to quantization problems, which aim to approximate general probability measures with discrete ones.

arXiv:2607. 01993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The silhouette is one of the most widely used measures to assess the quality of a $k$-clustering of a dataset of $n$ elements.
arXiv:2604. 18801v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific particle simulations in cosmology, molecular dynamics, and fluid dynamics produce large-scale datasets whose storage, movement, and analysis increasingly rely on lossy compression.
arXiv:2607. 13217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consider the following variation on the Hierarchical Clustering problem: Usually, while building a hierarchical clustering, one recursively partitions the data until each cluster becomes a singleton.
