Clustering is a NP-hard problem. Thus, no optimal algorithm exists, heuristics are applied to cluster the data. Heuristics can be very resource-intensive, if not applied properly. For substantially large data sets computational efficiencies…

$k-$means Clustering requires as input the exact value of $k$, the number of clusters. Two challenges are open: (i) Is there a data-determined definition of $k$ which is provably correct and (ii) Is there a polynomial time algorithm to find…
