UniFair: A unified fair clustering approach based on separation and compactness

Antonia Karra, Vasiliki Papanikou, Georgios Vardakas +2

Clustering is increasingly used to support high-impact decisions, yet standard objectives such as k-means can produce clusterings that treat demographic groups unequally. Existing…

Composite Silhouette: A Subsampling-based Aggregation Strategy

Aggelos Semoglou, Aristidis Likas, John Pavlopoulos

Determining the number of clusters is a central challenge in unsupervised learning, where ground-truth labels are unavailable. The Silhouette coefficient is a widely used internal…

Silhouette-Driven Instance-Weighted -means

Aggelos Semoglou, Aristidis Likas, John Pavlopoulos

Clustering is a fundamental unsupervised learning task with applications across a wide range of domains. Popular algorithms such as -means are efficient and widely used, but can…

Counterfactual Explanations for k-means and Gaussian Clustering

Georgios Vardakas, Antonia Karra, Evaggelia Pitoura +1

Counterfactuals have been recognized as an effective approach to explain classifier decisions. Nevertheless, they have not yet been considered in the context of clustering. In this…

Statistical Modeling of Univariate Multimodal Data

Paraskevi Chasani, Aristidis Likas

Unimodality constitutes a key property indicating grouping behavior of the data around a single mode of its density. We propose a method that partitions univariate data into unimod…

Deep Clustering Using the Soft Silhouette Score: Towards Compact and Well-Separated Clusters

Georgios Vardakas, Ioannis Papakostas, Aristidis Likas

Unsupervised learning has gained prominence in the big data era, offering a means to extract valuable insights from unlabeled datasets. Deep clustering has emerged as an important…

Revisiting Silhouette Aggregation

John Pavlopoulos, Georgios Vardakas, Aristidis Likas

Silhouette coefficient is an established internal clustering evaluation measure that produces a score per data point, assessing the quality of its clustering assignment. To assess…

UniForCE: The Unimodality Forest Method for Clustering and Estimation of the Number of Clusters

Georgios Vardakas, Argyris Kalogeratos, Aristidis Likas

Estimating the number of clusters k while clustering the data is a challenging task. An incorrect cluster assumption indicates that the number of clusters k gets wrongly estimated.…
