Title: Instance Space Analysis for Clustering Validation Techniques

Speaker: Connor Simpson

Summary:

Validation is a vital step in the clustering process, necessary for determining the correct partitioning of data. However, due to the considerable diversity in clustering problems, which includes differing assumptions about the structure of clusters within the data, the choice of a validation method becomes both important and challenging. Our aim is to assess the behaviour of these validation methods across a range of benchmark datasets through instance space analysis. This talk will cover the background of why this problem is important, the steps required to produce an Instance Space Analysis, and an exploration of extending instance spaces into three dimensions, along with methods for its assessment.
