KL Divergence Based Agglomerative Clustering for Automated Vitiligo Grading
In this paper we present a symmetric KL divergence based agglomerative clustering framework to segment multiple levels of depigmentation in Vitiligo images. The proposed framework starts with a simple merge cost based on symmetric KL divergence. We extend the recent body of work related to Bregman divergence based agglomerative clustering and prove that the symmetric KL divergence is an upper-bound for uni-modal Gaussian distributions. This leads to a very simple yet elegant method for bottomup agglomerative clustering. We introduce albedo and reflectance fields as features for the distance computations. We compare against other established methods to bring out possible pros and cons of the proposed method.

MultiDendrograms: Variable-Group Agglomerative Hierarchical Clusterings
MultiDendrograms is a Java-written application that computes agglomerative hierarchical clusterings of data. Starting from a distances (or weights) matrix, MultiDendrograms is able to calculate its dendrograms using the …

An agglomerative clustering of random variables is proposed, where clusters of random variables sharing the maximum amount of multivariate mutual information are merged successively to form larger clusters. Compared to t…
ClusteringUncertainty-Aware Domain Adaptation for Vitiligo Segmentation in Clinical Photographs
Accurately quantifying vitiligo extent in routine clinical photographs is crucial for longitudinal monitoring of treatment response. We propose a trustworthy, frequency-aware segmentation framework built on three synergi…
