The Parametric Stability of Well-separated Spherical Gaussian Mixtures

no code implementations1 Feb 2023 Hanyu Zhang, Marina Meila

We quantify the parameter stability of a spherical Gaussian Mixture Model (sGMM) under small perturbations in distribution space.

Dictionary-based Manifold Learning

1 code implementation1 Feb 2023 Hanyu Zhang, Samson Koelle, Marina Meila

We propose a paradigm for interpretable Manifold Learning for scientific data analysis, whereby we parametrize a manifold with $d$ smooth functions from a scientist-provided dictionary of meaningful, domain-related functions.

Tangent Space Least Adaptive Clustering

no code implementations ICML Workshop URL 2021 James Buenfil, Samson J Koelle, Marina Meila

The biasing of dynamical simulations along collective variables uncovered by unsupervised learning has become a standard approach in analysis of molecular systems.

A class of network models recoverable by spectral clustering

no code implementations NeurIPS 2015 Yali Wan, Marina Meila

Finding communities in networks is a problem that remains difficult, in spite of the amount of attention it has recently received.

Guarantees for Hierarchical Clustering by the Sublevel Set method

no code implementations18 Jun 2020 Marina Meila

Meila (2018) introduces an optimization based method called the Sublevel Set method, to guarantee that a clustering is nearly optimal and "approximately correct" without relying on any assumptions about the distribution that generated the data.

Measuring the Robustness of Graph Properties

no code implementations3 Dec 2018 Yali Wan, Marina Meila

In this paper, we propose a perturbation framework to measure the robustness of graph properties.

How to tell when a clustering is (approximately) correct using convex relaxations

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Marina Meila

We introduce the Sublevel Set (SS) method, a generic method to obtain sufficient guarantees of near-optimality and uniqueness (up to small perturbations) for a clustering.

Manifold Coordinates with Physical Meaning

2 code implementations29 Nov 2018 Samson Koelle, Hanyu Zhang, Marina Meila, Yu-Chia Chen

Manifold embedding algorithms map high-dimensional data down to coordinates in a much lower-dimensional space.

Graph Clustering: Block-models and model free results

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Yali Wan, Marina Meila

In this paper, we propose a framework, in which we obtain "correctness" guarantees without assuming the data comes from a model.

Nearly Isometric Embedding by Relaxation

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 James McQueen, Marina Meila, Dominique Joncas

Many manifold learning algorithms aim to create embeddings with low or no distortion (i. e. isometric).

megaman: Manifold Learning with Millions of points

1 code implementation9 Mar 2016 James McQueen, Marina Meila, Jacob VanderPlas, Zhongyue Zhang

Manifold Learning is a class of algorithms seeking a low-dimensional non-linear representation of high-dimensional data.

Recursive Inversion Models for Permutations

no code implementations NeurIPS 2014 Christopher Meek, Marina Meila

We develop a new exponential family probabilistic model for permutations that can capture hierarchical structure, and that has the well known Mallows and generalized Mallows models as subclasses.

Graph Sensitive Indices for Comparing Clusterings

no code implementations27 Nov 2014 Zaeem Hussain, Marina Meila

The motivation for looking at new ways for comparing clusterings stems from the fact that the existing clustering indices are based on set cardinality alone and do not consider the positions of data points.

Improved graph Laplacian via geometric self-consistency

no code implementations NeurIPS 2017 Dominique Perrault-Joncas, Marina Meila

We address the problem of setting the kernel bandwidth used by Manifold Learning algorithms to construct the graph Laplacian.

Estimating Vector Fields on Manifolds and the Embedding of Directed Graphs

An Algorithmic Theory of Dependent Regularizers, Part 1: Submodular Structure

no code implementations6 Dec 2013 Hoyt Koepke, Marina Meila

In Part 2, we describe the full regularization path of a class of penalized regression problems with dependent variables that includes the graph-guided LASSO and total variation constrained models.

Non-linear dimensionality reduction: Riemannian metric estimation and the problem of geometric discovery

no code implementations30 May 2013 Dominique Perraul-Joncas, Marina Meila

In recent years, manifold learning has become increasingly popular as a tool for performing non-linear dimensionality reduction.

An Experimental Comparison of Several Clustering and Initialization Methods

no code implementations30 Jan 2013 Marina Meila, David Heckerman

In the first part of the paper, we perform an experimental comparison between three batch clustering algorithms: the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, a winner take all version of the EM algorithm reminiscent of the K-means algorithm, and model-based hierarchical agglomerative clustering.
