Nonparametric Bayesian Clustering Ensembles

چکیده
Forming consensus clusters from multiple input clusterings can improve accuracy and robustness. Current clustering ensemble methods require specifying the number of consensus clusters. A poor choice can lead to under or over fitting. This paper proposes a nonparametric Bayesian clustering ensemble (NBCE) method, which can discover the number of clusters in the consensus clustering. Three inference methods are considered: collapsed Gibbs sampling, variational Bayesian inference, and collapsed variational Bayesian inference. Comparison of NBCE with several other algorithms demonstrates its versatility and superior stability.

Nonparametric Bayesian Co-clustering Ensembles
A nonparametric Bayesian approach to co-clustering ensembles is presented. Similar to clustering ensembles, coclustering ensembles combine various base co-clustering results to obtain a more robust consensus co-clustering. To avoid pre-specifying the number of co-clusters, we specify independent Dirichlet process priors for the row and column clusters. Thus, the numbers of rowand column-cluster...

NONPARAMETRIC BAYESIAN MODELS FOR UNSUPERVISED LEARNING Pu Wang, PhD George Mason University, 2011 Dissertation Director: Carlotta Domeniconi Unsupervised learning is an important topic in machine learning. In particular, clustering is an unsupervised learning problem that arises in a variety of applications for data analysis and mining. Unfortunately, clustering is an ill-posed problem and, as...

متن کاملGender-based Differences in Associations between Attitude and Self-esteem with Smoking Behavior among Adolescents: A Secondary Analysis Applying Bayesian Nonparametric Functional Latent Variable Model
Background: Different patterns of gender-based relationships between attitude toward smoking and self-esteem with smoking behavior have reported. However, such associations may be much more complex than a simply supposed linear relationship. We aimed to propose a method of providing hand details on the total and gender-based scenarios of the relationships between attitude toward smoking and sel...
متن کاملDP-space: Bayesian Nonparametric Subspace Clustering with Small-variance Asymptotics
Subspace clustering separates data points approximately lying on union of affine subspaces into several clusters. This paper presents a novel nonparametric Bayesian subspace clustering model that infers both the number of subspaces and the dimension of each subspace from the observed data. Though the posterior inference is hard, our model leads to a very efficient deterministic algorithm, DP-sp...
