2025
- December 2025: We are happy to announce the release of the new source code library VAMM! The models and algorithms of VAMM can be used for (1) highly efficient data density estimation for large-scale and high-dimensional data, and (2) for clustering of very large-scale and high-dimensional data. The unique feature implemented by VAMM is a sublinear runtime scaling: a linear increase of model size results in an only *sublinear* increase of runtime. See the following (inverse chronological) list of papers that led to the new library: Salwig, Kahlke, et al., arXiv 2025; Hirschberger et al., TPAMI 2022; Lücke & Forster, PRLetters 2019; Forster & Lücke, AISTATS 2018. See here for more information. The paper arXiv:2501.12299 is the main reference for VAMM.
