Doctoral Dissertations

"The problem of clustering is one of the most widely studied area in data mining and machine learning. Adaptive resonance theory (ART), an unsupervised learning clustering algorithm, is a clustering method that can learn arbitrary input patterns in a stable, fast and self-organizing way. This dissertation focuses on unsupervised learning methods, mostly based on variations of ART.

Hierarchical ART clustering is studied by generating a tree of ART units with GPU based parallelization to provide fast and finesse clustering. Experiment results show that the our method achieves significant training speed increase in generating deep ART trees compared with that from …

"Unsupervised learning is one of the most important steps of machine learning applications. Besides its ability to obtain the insight of the data distribution, unsupervised learning is used as a preprocessing step for other machine learning algorithm. This dissertation investigates the application of unsupervised learning into various types of data for many machine learning tasks such as clustering, regression and classification. The dissertation is organized into three papers. In the first paper, unsupervised learning is applied to mixed categorical and numerical feature data type to transform the data objects from the mixed type feature domain into a new sparser numerical …
