$k$-means clustering is NP-hard in the worst case but previous work has shown efficient algorithms assuming the optimal $k$-means clusters are \emph{stable} under additive or multiplicative perturbation of data. This has two caveats. First,…

The k-means problem is perhaps the classical clustering problem and often synonymous with Lloyd's algorithm (1957). It has become clear that Hartigan's algorithm (1975) gives better results in almost all cases, Telgarsky-Vattani note a…
