On Constrained Spectral Clustering and Its Applications

1 code implementation25 Jan 2012 Xiang Wang, Buyue Qian, Ian Davidson

Furthermore, by inheriting the objective function from spectral clustering and encoding the constraints explicitly, much of the existing analysis of unconstrained spectral clustering techniques remains valid for our formulation.

Probabilistic Formulations of Regression with Mixed Guidance

1 code implementation1 Apr 2018 Aubrey Gress, Ian Davidson

Regression problems assume every instance is annotated (labeled) with a real value, a form of annotation we call \emph{strong guidance}.

Block Model Guided Unsupervised Feature Selection

1 code implementation5 Jul 2020 Zilong Bai, Hoa Nguyen, Ian Davidson

Existing efforts for unsupervised feature selection on attributed networks have explored either directly regenerating the links by solving for $f$ such that $f(\mathbf{y}_i,\mathbf{y}_j) \approx \mathbf{A}_{i, j}$ or finding community structure in $\mathbf{A}$ and using the features in $\mathbf{Y}$ to predict these communities.
