We propose a novel method for multiple clustering that assumes a co-clustering structure (partitions in both rows and columns of the data matrix) in each view. The new method is applicable to high-dimensional data. It is based on a…

We introduce CoHiRF (Consensus Hierarchical Random Features), a hierarchical consensus framework that enables existing clustering methods to operate beyond their usual computational and memory limits. CoHiRF is a meta-algorithm that…
