We propose an algorithm for clustering high dimensional data. If $P$ features for $N$ objects are represented in an $N\times P$ matrix ${\bf X}$, where $N\ll P$, the method is based on exploiting the cluster-dependent structure of the…

We introduce a novel criterion in clustering that seeks clusters with limited range of values associated with each cluster's elements. In clustering or classification the objective is to partition a set of objects into subsets, called…

Clustering methods group a set of data points into a few coherent groups or clusters of similar data points. As an example, consider clustering pixels in an image (or video) if they belong to the same object. Different clustering methods…
