Pi 2023-24
Events related to students and student organizations
Purdue Fort Wayne Department of Mathematical Sciences
The Data Hub Club is co-sponsoring an event with the PFW Laboratory of Data Science, Wednesday, April 10th at noon.
Andreas Bueckle, Indiana University Bloomington, will be giving the presentation "Building and Exploring the Human Reference Atlas with Virtual Reality." The presentation will be via WebEx, but the club is having a "watch" session in Kettler 247 with pizza so students and faculty can participate as a group.

Abstract: Spectral clustering has emerged as a very effective clustering approach; however, it is computationally expensive when applied to large data sets. As a result, there has been considerable effort in the machine learning community to develop fast, approximate spectral clustering algorithms that are scalable in time and/or memory. Notably, most of those methods use a small set of landmark points selected from the given data. In this talk we present two landmark-based scalable spectral clustering algorithms that are developed based on novel document-term and bipartite graph models. We demonstrate their superior performance on some benchmark data sets. Finally, we also mention some recent work in the setting of massive data sets which cannot be fully loaded into computer memory.
