Title Supplement to On Bayesian "central clustering": Application to landscape classification of Western Ghats
Description Sections S-1 and S-2 contain, respectively, the full conditional distributions of the random variables with respect to the nonmarginalized and marginalized version of SB's model. That the K-means clustering algorithm is a special case of the clustering method based on SB's model is shown in Section S-3. Properties of the approximate distance measure d are explored in Section S-4. Section S-5 contains reports of our investigation on whether or not the spatial structure of the superpixels should be incorporated in our model. Detailed analysis of sensitivity of the results with respect to changes in the values of the hyperparameters of our model is provided in Section S-6. Thorough explanation of the computational superiority of SB's model over that associated with efficient implementation of EW's model is presented in Section S-7. Finally, a new method for MCMC convergence diagnostics in clustering models is proposed in Section S-8, which we apply in our situation for studying convergence of our Markov chain.}

Local Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis with Application to Virtual Screening

Title Local kernel canonical correlation analysis with application to virtual drug screening
Description Drug discovery is the process of identifying compounds which have potentially meaningful biological activity. A major challenge that arises is that the number of compounds to search over can be quite large, sometimes numbering in the millions, making experimental testing intractable. For this reason computational methods are employed to filter out those compounds which do not exhibit strong biological activity. This filtering step, also called virtual screening reduces the search space, allowing for the remaining compounds to be experimentally tested.
In this paper we propose several novel approaches to the problem of virtual screening based on Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and on a kernel based extension. Spectral learning ideas motivate our proposed new method called Indefinite Kernel CCA (IKCCA). We show the strong performance of this approach both for a toy problem as well as using real world data with dramatic improvements in predictive accuracy of virtual screening over an existing methodology.}
