- |Fix| Fixes incorrect multiple data-conversion warnings when clustering
boolean data. :pr:`19046` by :user:`Surya Prakash <jdsurya>`.

- |Fix| Fixed :func:`dict_learning`, used by :class:`DictionaryLearning`, to
ensure determinism of the output. Achieved by flipping signs of the SVD
output which is used to initialize the code.
