Cluster analysis is the task of partitioning data into subsets of objects according to their mutual "similarity," without using preexisting knowledge such as class labels. [Clustered-standard-errors and/or cluster-samples should be tagged as such; do NOT use the "clustering" tag for them.]

What does the denominator in the Adjusted Rand Index mean?
According to Scikit's documentation, the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) can be defined as:
$$\mathrm{ARI} = \frac{\mathrm{RI} - \mathbb{E}[\mathrm{RI}]}{\max(\mathrm{RI})-\mathbb{E}[\mathrm{RI}]}$$
I don …

How to automatically cluster a U-Matrix?
After training a self-organising map, one can calculate the U-Matrix. There are some tools to manually visualize it and identify clusters, but I'm wondering if there is any algorithm to do this proces …

How to represent the probability of a point belonging to a cluster?
I want to do a scatter plot with a two-dimensional dataset. Suppose I have only 3 clusters. Then, I could assign each cluster a color of these: red, green and blue. If soft-assignment was made, then e …

Which criteria to use to determine cluster centroids?
I have 3-dimensional datapoints I want to cluster. The idea is to do this in an unsupervised fashion with neural networks for a research project. To see how the system performs I'm trying with dataset …

How is the upper bound for Normalized Mutual Information determined?
Mutual information between two clusterings $A$ and $B$ can be calculated as:
$$MI(A,B)=H(A)+H(B)-H(A,B)$$
In the 10th page of this paper it is stated that $MI(A,B)$ can vary in the range $[0,\min\{H …

Could convolutional networks be used for spike sorting?
Spike sorting consists in clustering groups of signals based on their shapes.
I have always seen convolutional neural networks (CNNs) being used for image classification. …

Which result for normalized mutual information is correct?
It turns out that the R version uses by default the 'max' variant of the NMI, while Python's uses 'sqrt'.
Doing this in R will yield the same results:
NMI(labels_true, labels_pred, variant="sqrt")

Unsupervised training of CNN
I have some unlabeled 1D (i.e. time-domain) signals (real neuron measurements) that I would like to classify in 3 classes. I would like to use a ConvNet to do this. However, as far as I know, ConvNets …
