New algorithm clusters hyperspectral images at multiple scales.
Image clustering is an important but challenging task in machine learning. As in most image processing areas, the latest improvements came from models based on the deep learning approach. However, classical deep learning methods have problems to deal with spatial image transformations like scale and rotation. In this p…
The high dimensionality of hyperspectral images often results in the degradation of clustering performance. Due to the powerful ability of deep feature extraction and non-linear feature representation, the clustering algorithm based on deep learning has become a hot research topic in the field of hyperspectral remote s…
New approach learns image transformations directly for clustering.
We consider the problem of universal joint clustering and registration of images and define algorithms using multivariate information functionals. We first study registering two images using maximum mutual information and prove its asymptotic optimality. We then show the shortcomings of pairwise registration in multi-i…
We propose JECL, a method for clustering image-caption pairs by training parallel encoders with regularized clustering and alignment objectives, simultaneously learning both representations and cluster assignments. These image-caption pairs arise frequently in high-value applications where structured training data is e…
Traditional nearest points methods use all the samples in an image set to construct a single convex or affine hull model for classification. However, strong artificial features and noisy data may be generated from combinations of training samples when significant intra-class variations and/or noise occur in the image s…

Recently, deep clustering, which is able to perform feature learning that favors clustering tasks via deep neural networks, has achieved remarkable performance in image clustering applications. However, the existing deep clustering algorithms generally need the number of clusters in advance, which is usually unknown in…

The ability to characterize the color content of natural imagery is an important application of image processing. The pixel by pixel coloring of images may be viewed naturally as points in color space, and the inherent structure and distribution of these points affords a quantization, through clustering, of the color i…

Unsupervised image segmentation aims at clustering the set of pixels of an image into spatially homogeneous regions. We introduce here a class of Bayesian nonparametric models to address this problem. These models are based on a combination of a Potts-like spatial smoothness component and a prior on partitions which is…
Tree-SNE combines t-SNE and hierarchical clustering for data visualization.
Mixtures of Gaussians, factor analyzers (probabilistic PCA) and hidden Markov models are staples of static and dynamic data modeling and image and video modeling in particular. We show how topographic transformations in the input, such as translation and shearing in images, can be accounted for in these models by inclu…

In this paper we present a new model and an algorithm for unsupervised clustering of 2-D data such as images. We assume that the data comes from a union of multilinear subspaces (UOMS) model, which is a specific structured case of the much studied union of subspaces (UOS) model. For segmentation under this model, we de…

We describe a new optimization scheme for finding high-quality correlation clusterings in planar graphs that uses weighted perfect matching as a subroutine. Our method provides lower-bounds on the energy of the optimal correlation clustering that are typically fast to compute and tight in practice. We demonstrate our a…
Detecting stellar clusters have always been an important research problem in Astronomy. Although images do not convey very detailed information in detecting stellar density enhancements, we attempt to understand if new machine learning techniques can reveal patterns that would assist in drawing better inferences from t…
Efficiently clusters data with weak assumptions, robust to contamination.
We propose a deep amortized clustering (DAC), a neural architecture which learns to cluster datasets efficiently using a few forward passes. DAC implicitly learns what makes a cluster, how to group data points into clusters, and how to count the number of clusters in datasets. DAC is meta-learned using labelled dataset…

Important examples of , for which the proposed clustering algorithm is computationally efficient, are the sphere, the set of positive definite matrices, and the…
Classical clustering algorithms typically either lack an underlying probability framework to make them predictive or focus on parameter estimation rather than defining and minimizing a notion of error. Recent work addresses these issues by developing a probabilistic framework based on the theory of random labeled point…

We propose to model the fixation locations of the human eye when observing a still image by a Markovian point process in R 2 . Our approach is data driven using k-means clustering of the fixation locations to identify distinct salient regions of the image, which in turn correspond to the states of our Markov chain. Bay…
