The talk will focus on three topics from my PhD thesis, which have applications also in other fields. The first concerns a clustering problem, in which the spatial data of objects are to be integrated with labels (e.g. features) of the objects. In the second the objects form the vertices of a graph and their labels are used to infer connections between communities of objects. The third is a new approach to statistical enrichment analysis, which takes into account degree of similarity between labels (instead of equality or non-equality). From a computational perspective the labels can be viewed (and will be presented in the talk) as colors, but the motivation for my resarch, as you all know, comes from attempts to improve the analysis of large scale data-sets of genes/gene-products.
