During the past few years, semi-supervised clustering has emerged as a new interesting direction in machine learning research. In a semi-supervised clustering algorithm, the clustering results can be significantly improved by using side information, which is available or collected from users. There are two main kinds of side information that can be learned in semi-supervised clustering algorithms: the class labels - called seeds or the pairwise constraints. The first semi-supervised clustering was introduced in 2000, and since that, many algorithms have been presented in literature. However, it is not easy to use both types of side information in the same algorithm. To address the problem, this paper proposes a semi-supervised graph based clustering algorithm that tries to use seeds and constraints in the clustering process, called MCSSGC. Moreover, we introduces a simple but efficient active learning method to collect the constraints that can boost the performance of MCSSGC, named KMMFFQS. In order to verify effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conducted a series of experiments not only on real data sets from UCI, but also on a document data set applied in an Information Extraction of Vietnamese documents. These obtained results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the clustering process compared to some recent algorithms.

<div> <div> <div> <p>While accurately modeling the conformational ensemble is required for predicting properties of flexible molecules, the optimal method of obtaining the conformational ensemble seems as varied as their applications. Ensemble structures have been modeled by generation, refinement, and clustering of conformations with a sufficient number of samples. We present a conformational clustering algorithm intended to automate the conformational clustering step through the Louvain algorithm, which requires minimal hyperparameters and importantly no predefined number of clusters or threshold values. The conformational graphs produced by this method for O-succinyl-L-homoserine, oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and 200 representative metabolites each preserved the geometric/energetic correlation expected for points on the potential energy surface.

Automating conformational clustering in a workflow with AutoGraph may mitigate human biases introduced by guess-and-check over hyperparameter selection while allowing flexibility to the result by not imposing predefined criteria other than optimizing the model’s loss function.

In order to mitigate the downlink interference in two-tier femtocell networks, a joint spectrum and power allocation algorithm based on graph and game theory is proposed in this paper. On the premise of ensuring the QoS (Quality of Service) of MUEs (microcell user equipments), we first adopt graph-based clustering algorithm to assign subbands to femtocells. Then, for femtocells of each cluster, their transmitting power is redistributed based on the non-cooperative game theory to further reduce the interference among them. Simulation results show that this algorithm can further improves the performance of the entire system compared with pure clustering strategy and ensures the QoS of MUEs at the same time.

Clustering nonlinearly separable datasets is always an important problem in unsupervised machine learning. Graph cut models provide good clustering results for nonlinearly separable datasets, but solving graph cut models is an NP hard problem. A novel graph-based clustering algorithm is proposed for nonlinearly separable datasets. The proposed method solves the min cut model by iteratively computing only one simple formula. Experimental results on synthetic and benchmark datasets indicate the potential of the proposed method, which is able to cluster nonlinearly separable datasets with less running time.
