The enormous innovation in computational intelligence has disrupted the traditional ways we solve the main problems of our society and allowed us to make more data-informed decisions. Energy systems and the ways we deliver electricity are not exceptions to this trend: cheap and pervasive sensing systems and new communication technologies have enabled the collection of large amounts of data that are being used to monitor and predict in real-time the behavior of this infrastructure. Bringing intelligence to the power grid creates many opportunities to integrate new renewable energy sources more efficiently, facilitate grid planning and expansion, improve reliability, optimize electricity …
Incremental Non-Greedy Clustering At Scale, Nicholas Monath
Incremental Non-Greedy Clustering At Scale, Nicholas Monath
Doctoral Dissertations
Clustering is the task of organizing data into meaningful groups. Modern clustering applications such as entity resolution put several demands on clustering algorithms: (1) scalability to massive numbers of points as well as clusters, (2) incremental additions of data, (3) support for any user-specified similarity functions. Hierarchical clusterings are often desired as they represent multiple alternative flat clusterings (e.g., at different granularity levels). These tree-structured clusterings provide for both fine-grained clusters as well as uncertainty in the presence of newly arriving data. Previous work on hierarchical clustering does not fully address all three of the aforementioned desiderata. Work on incremental …
