Abstract
We present a -means-based clustering algorithm, which optimizes the mean square error, for given cluster sizes. A straightforward application is balanced clustering, where the sizes of each cluster are equal. In the -means assignment phase, the algorithm solves an assignment problem using the Hungarian algorithm. This makes the assignment phase time complexity . This enables clustering of datasets of size more than 5000 points.
