Abstract
Clustering for purposes of data visualization and making predictions is disclosed. Embodiments of the invention are operable on a number of variables that have a predetermined representation. The variables include input-only variables, output-only variables, and both input-and-output variables. Embodiments of the invention generate a model that has a bottleneck architecture. The model includes a top layer of nodes of at least the input-only variables, one or more middle layer of hidden nodes, and a bottom layer of nodes of the output-only and the input-and-output variables. At least one cluster is determined from this model. The model can be a probabilistic neural network and/or a Bayesian network.
