Solving Non-Uniqueness in Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Using Multidendrograms

In agglomerative hierarchical clustering, pair-group methods suffer from a problem of non-uniqueness when two or more distances between different clusters coincide during the amalgamation process. The traditional approach for solving this drawback has been to take any arbitrary criterion in order to break ties between distances, which results in different hierarchical classifications depending on the criterion followed. In this article we propose a variable-group algorithm that consists in grouping more than two clusters at the same time when ties occur. We give a tree representation for the results of the algorithm, which we call a multidendrogram, as well as a generalization of the Lance andWilliams’ formula which enables the implementation of the algorithm in a recursive way.

多维函数全局寻优的团队进步算法

通过模仿团队进步需要的学习、探索行为和成员更新规则,提出了一种新颖的双群体演化算法,称为团队进步算法(TPA).算法将一个团队的成员分为精英和普通组,建立了两组的学习样板,定义了学习和探索运算,并合理设定了成员更新规则.两组成员在搜索过程中出现了明显分工,使算法兼备了全局搜索、局部搜索和定向搜索的能力.数值试验结果验证了新算法具有实现简单、全局寻优成功率高、收敛快、计算量少、坚韧性强和参数选择相对容易等特性,对解决优化应用问题具有较大的价值.     

Finding finer functions for partially characterized proteins by protein-protein interaction networks

Based on high-throughput data, numerous algorithms have been designed to find functions of novel proteins. However, the effectiveness of such algorithms is currently limited by some fundamental factors, including (1) the low a-priori probability of novel proteins participating in a detailed function; (2) the huge false data present in high-throughput datasets; (3) the incomplete data coverage of functional classes; (4) the abundant but heterogeneous negative samples for training the algorithms; and (5) the lack of detailed functional knowledge for training algorithms. Here, for partially characterized proteins, we suggest an approach to finding their finer functions based on protein interaction sub-networks or gene expression patterns, defined in function-specific subspaces. The proposed approach can lessen the above-mentioned problems by properly defining the prediction range and functionally filtering the noisy data, and thus can efficiently find proteins’ novel functions. For thousands of yeast and human proteins partially characterized, it is able to reliably find their finer functions (e.g., the translational functions) with more than 90% precision. The predicted finer functions are highly valuable both for guiding the follow-up wet-lab validation and for providing the necessary data for training algorithms to learn other proteins.

多幅图像显示时色彩压缩的聚类统计算法

在计算机上，同屏显示多幅彩色图像会出现明显的失真（即色彩损失）．特别是两幅图像色调差别较大时（如一幅暖色调，一幅冷色调），失真现象更为严重．为了克服这一缺陷．本文在参考Ｋ均值聚类算法的基础上，优化了初始聚类中心，提出了色彩压缩的聚类统计算法．本算法简单实现较为方便，克服了Ｋ均值算法对色彩压缩不均衡及彩色失真度大的缺点．且不需经过多次迭代即可得到令人满意的效果，压缩时间短．
