PHIDA: Persistence-Guided Node-to-Cluster Mapping for Online Clustering

Online clustering methods that adaptively create and update nodes as data arrive often make node learning explicit, whereas the mapping from the learned node state to output clusters often remains implicit or simplified. Implicit mappings make output clusters sensitive to weak graph bridges or local relations based on distance in the graph over learned nodes, leaving no explicit constraint on which node groups remain intact during mapping. This paper addresses this gap by proposing PHIDA, a persistence-guided node-to-cluster mapping method for online clustering with learned nodes. PHIDA implements this mapping within Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART)-based online clustering by combining Inverse-Distance ART (IDA) node learning with node-to-cluster mapping constrained by Persistent Homology (PH). Experiments on 24 benchmark datasets show that PHIDA achieves the best average ranks in stationary comparisons that include the recent stationary-only clustering methods, while also improving aggregate performance in the nonstationary setting over the evaluated online methods that adaptively create and update nodes. Ablations and comparisons with conventional node-to-cluster mappings indicate that the observed gains are associated with PH-constrained mapping that preserves raw PH components, together with the use of the PH component view during node learning.

Adaptive Resonance Theory-based Topological Clustering with a Divisive Hierarchical Structure Capable of Continual Learning

Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) is considered as an effective approach for realizing continual learning thanks to its ability to handle the plasticity-stability dilemma. In general, however, the clustering performance of ART-based algorithms strongly depends on the specification of a similarity threshold, i.e., a vigilance parameter, which is data-dependent and specified by hand. This paper proposes an ART-based topological clustering algorithm with a mechanism that automatically estimates a similarity threshold from the distribution of data points. In addition, for improving information extraction performance, a divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm capable of continual learning is proposed by introducing a hierarchical structure to the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high clustering performance comparable with recently-proposed state-of-the-art hierarchical clustering algorithms.

Effects of Different Optimization Formulations in Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning on Diverse Behavior Generation

Generating various strategies for a given task is challenging. However, it has already proven to bring many assets to the main learning process, such as improved behavior exploration. With the growth in the interest of heterogeneity in solution in evolutionary computation and reinforcement learning, many promising approaches have emerged. To better understand how one guides multiple policies toward distinct strategies and benefit from diversity, we need to analyze further the influence of the reward signal modulation and other evolutionary mechanisms on the obtained behaviors. To that effect, this paper considers an existing evolutionary reinforcement learning framework which exploits multi-objective optimization as a way to obtain policies that succeed at behavior-related tasks as well as completing the main goal. Experiments on the Atari games stress that optimization formulations which do not consider objectives equally fail at generating diversity and even output agents that are worse at solving the problem at hand, regardless of the obtained behaviors.
