Data Analysis and Bioinformatics
2007
Data analysis methods and techniques are revisited in the case of biological data sets. Particular emphasis is given to clustering and mining issues. Clustering is still a subject of active research in several fields such as statistics, pattern recognition, and machine learning. Data mining adds to clustering the complications of very large data-sets with many attributes of different types. And this is a typical situation in biology. Some cases studies are also described.
Preventing Overlaps in Agglomerative Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering
2020
Hierarchical Clustering is an unsupervised learning task, whi-ch seeks to build a set of clusters ordered by the inclusion relation. It is usually assumed that the result is a tree-like structure with no overlapping clusters, i.e., where clusters are either disjoint or nested. In Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering (HCC), each cluster is provided with a conceptual description which belongs to a predefined set called the pattern language. Depending on the application domain, the elements in the pattern language can be of different nature: logical formulas, graphs, tests on the attributes, etc. In this paper, we tackle the issue of overlapping concepts in the agglomerative approach of HCC. We …
