Dendrogram Construction

Dendrogram construction is the process of creating hierarchical tree-like diagrams representing the relationships between data points, often used in clustering and phylogenetic analysis. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency of dendrogram construction algorithms, particularly for large datasets, through parallel processing techniques like those leveraging GPUs and novel recursive methods. These advancements are impacting diverse fields, from evaluating the performance and relationships of large language models to analyzing image datasets and improving generative model evaluation by providing new metrics for assessing mode collapse and overall model performance. The resulting dendrograms offer valuable insights into data structure and relationships, facilitating better model selection and feature importance analysis.
