Furthermore, the IB method has been widely studied for multiple machine learning tasks, including but not limited to, speech diarization (Vijayasenan et al., 2009), image segmentation (Bardera et al., 2009), image clustering (Gordon et al., 2003), and visualization (Kamimura, 2010).
similar to this paper, image segmentation has considered segmentation as the compres-sion part of the IB based method.
