sp_colocation: Social co-locations (2018)
Network of colocations between peoople, based on the information on which RFID readers received information from the RFID tags. Namely, we define two individuals to be in co-presence if the same exact set of readers have received signals from both individuals during a 20s time window.
This network has 100 nodes and 394247 edges.

Fast-VAT: Accelerating Cluster Tendency Visualization using Cython and Numba
Visual Assessment of Cluster Tendency (VAT) is a widely used unsupervised technique to assess the presence of cluster structure in unlabeled datasets. However, its standard implementation suffers from significant performance limitations due to its O(n^2) time complexity and inefficient memory usage. In this work, we present Fast-VAT, a high-performance reimplementation of the VAT algorithm in Python, augmented with Numba's Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and Cython's static typing and low-level …

sp_infectious: Art exhibit dynamic contacts (2011)
This dataset contains the daily dynamic contact networks collected during the Infectious SocioPatterns event that took place at the Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland, during the artscience exhibition INFECTIOUS: STAY AWAY. Each file in the downloadable package contains a tab-separated list representing the active contacts during 20-second intervals of one day of data collection. Each line has the form “t i j“, where i and j are the a…

Measures of Overlapping Multivariate Gaussian Clusters in Unsupervised Online Learning
In this paper, we propose a new measure for detecting overlap in multivariate Gaussian clusters. The aim of online learning from data streams is to create clustering, classification, or regression models that can adapt over time based on the conceptual drift of streaming data. In the case of clustering, this can result in a large number of clusters that may overlap and should be merged. Commonly used distribution dissimilarity measures are not adequate for determining overlapping clusters in th…
