Clustering and Deep Learning have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly through unsupervised neural networks like autoencoders, which automatically uncover data structures.

摘要

Clustering and Deep Learning have garnered significant attention in recent years, particularly through unsupervised neural networks like autoencoders, which automatically uncover data structures. A key link exists between clustering and representation learning: effective representations lead to better clustering, and conversely, clustering aids in representation learning. However, many approaches rely on the K-means framework, which requires predefining the number of clusters (K). To address this, the DipDECK method uses the Dip-test to determine K. This paper introduces a modified version, Mod-DipDECK, which enhances the embedding space, allowing clearer cluster structures by applying an orthonormal transformation matrix derived from the intraclass scatter matrix of K-means. Our research eliminates the decoder and employs a greedy optimization approach, demonstrating that Mod-DipDECK outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in real-world datasets.
