With the help of a new dataset set we demonstrate this issue and show that it can be mitigated with the help of a learned 3D prior.

Stop by poster #4403 today from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at #NuerIPS2025 in San Diego to learn more.

Hi Ben. Yes indeed, they require a certain number of observations. However, crucially, it is not trivial to "influence" what criteria are used perform the clustering (e.g. in the case of images, the visual features). Our approach enables the discovery of interpretable features that can be clustered.

There is more info in our new preprint:

Interpretable Text-Guided Image Clustering via Iterative Search

Today at #BMVC2025, Bingchen Zhao will present our new text-guided clustering approach uses an iterative discovery process, guided by an unsupervised clustering objective, to generate interpretable visual concepts that better capture the criteria expressed in a user's instructions.

This project is in collaboration with Rowland Kao @rowlandkao.bsky.social
