How to Achieve the Intended Aim of Deep Clustering Now, without Deep Learning

The paper examines whether Deep Embedded Clustering (DEC) truly overcomes the fundamental limitations of k‑means clustering, such as handling clusters of arbitrary shapes, varied sizes, and densities. Through analysis, it finds that DEC does not exploit the underlying data distribution and therefore fails to address these limitations. Instead, a non‑deep learning approach that leverages distributional information of clusters can achieve the intended goals of deep clustering.

Federated Deep Clustering Networks for High-Dimensional and Heterogeneous Data

The paper introduces FedDCN, a federated deep clustering network that jointly optimizes reconstruction and clustering losses for high‑dimensional, heterogeneous data. It addresses challenges of non‑IID client data by generating synthetic augmentations and applying geometric regularization to align latent spaces. Experiments show the method’s effectiveness under both IID and non‑IID settings, and the authors outline future research directions.

Aitchison Embeddings for Learning Compositional Graph Representations

The paper introduces a compositional graph embedding framework based on Aitchison geometry, where nodes are represented as simplex-valued mixtures over latent archetypal factors. By embedding these mixtures using isometric log-ratio coordinates, the method preserves Aitchison distances while allowing unconstrained optimization in Euclidean space, yielding intrinsically interpretable embeddings. The approach achieves competitive performance on node classification and link prediction tasks and enables principled component restriction through subcompositional coherence, allowing analysis of how archetype groups influence representations and predictions.
