1 code implementation6 Feb 2024 Christopher Liao, Theodoros Tsiligkaridis, Brian Kulis

However, most DG methods assume access to abundant source data in the target label space, a requirement that proves overly stringent for numerous real-world applications, where acquiring the same label space as the target task is prohibitively expensive.

Power-Law Graph Cuts

no code implementations29 Oct 2014 Xiangyang Zhou, Jiaxin Zhang, Brian Kulis

Despite strong performance for a number of clustering tasks, spectral graph cut algorithms still suffer from several limitations: first, they require the number of clusters to be known in advance, but this information is often unknown a priori; second, they tend to produce clusters with uniform sizes.
