Determinantal consensus clustering improves clustering robustness.
Consensus clustering fuses diverse basic partitions (i.e., clustering results obtained from conventional clustering methods) into an integrated one, which has attracted increasing attention in both academic and industrial areas due to its robust and effective performance. Tremendous research efforts have been made to t…
Suppose that multiple experts (or learning algorithms) provide us with alternative Bayesian network (BN) structures over a domain, and that we are interested in combining them into a single consensus BN structure. Specifically, we are interested in that the consensus BN structure only represents independences all the g…

A method for learning embeddings from multi-view data using Gromov-Wasserstein.
Since deep neural networks are over-parameterized, they can memorize noisy examples. We address such a memorization issue in the presence of label noise. From the fact that deep neural networks cannot generalize to neighborhoods of memorized features, we hypothesize that noisy examples do not consistently incur small l…

The distribution of price returns for a class of uncorrelated diffusive dynamics is considered.

We find an analytical expressi…
