evclust: Evidential c-Means Clustering

Various clustering algorithms that produce a credal partition, i.e., a set of Dempster-Shafer mass functions representing the membership of objects to clusters. The mass functions quantify the cluster-membership uncertainty of the objects. The algorithms are: Evidential c-Means, Relational Evidential c-Means, Constrained Evidential c-Means, Multiples Relational Evidential c-Means.

wax-mnist

Wax-MNIST is an image dataset created for machine learning. It is similar to the well-known MNIST dataset, which contains images of handwritten digits. However, instead of digits, Wax-MNIST images represent colored patterns found on African fabrics, such as wax, kente, or bogolan. Wax-MNIST was created to encourage cultural diversity in AI projects and raise awareness of the richness of African patterns.
