One of the applications of center-based clustering algorithms such as K-Means is partitioning data points into K clusters. In some examples, the feature space relates to the underlying problem we are trying to solve, and sometimes we can…

Distributed data mining techniques and mainly distributed clustering are widely used in the last decade because they deal with very large and heterogeneous datasets which cannot be gathered centrally. Current distributed clustering…

K-Means clustering still plays an important role in many computer vision problems. While the conventional Lloyd method, which alternates between centroid update and cluster assignment, is primarily used in practice, it may converge to a…

Clustering plays a crucial role in computer science, facilitating data analysis and problem-solving across numerous fields. By partitioning large datasets into meaningful groups, clustering reveals hidden structures and relationships within…

\textit{Clustering problems} often arise in the fields like data mining, machine learning etc. to group a collection of objects into similar groups with respect to a similarity (or dissimilarity) measure. Among the clustering problems,…

One of the most employed yet simple algorithm for cluster analysis is the k-means algorithm. k-means has successfully witnessed its use in artificial intelligence, market segmentation, fraud detection, data mining, psychology, etc., only to…

This work explores a distributed computing setting where $K$ nodes are assigned fractions (subtasks) of a computational task in order to perform the computation in parallel. In this setting, a well-known main bottleneck has been the…

Center-based clustering is a pivotal primitive for unsupervised learning and data analysis. A popular variant is undoubtedly the k-means problem, which, given a set $P$ of points from a metric space and a parameter $k<|P|$, requires to…

To cluster data that are not linearly separable in the original feature space, $k$-means clustering was extended to the kernel version. However, the performance of kernel $k$-means clustering largely depends on the choice of kernel…

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of prominent clustering algorithms K-means, DBSCAN, and Spectral Clustering on high-dimensional datasets. We introduce a novel evaluation framework that assesses clustering…

The $k$-means algorithm is a prevalent clustering method due to its simplicity, effectiveness, and speed. However, its main disadvantage is its high sensitivity to the initial positions of the cluster centers. The global $k$-means is a…

The $k$-means algorithm is arguably the most popular nonparametric clustering method but cannot generally be applied to datasets with incomplete records. The usual practice then is to either impute missing values under an assumed…

K-medoids clustering is a popular variant of k-means clustering and widely used in pattern recognition and machine learning. A main drawback of k-medoids clustering is that an improper initialization can cause it to get trapped in local…

Clustering is one of the most fundamental tools in data science and machine learning, and k-means clustering is one of the most common such methods. There is a variety of approximate algorithms for the k-means problem, but computing the…

$\renewcommand{\Re}{{\rm I\!\hspace{-0.025em} R}} \newcommand{\eps}{{\varepsilon}} \newcommand{\Coreset}{{\mathcal{S}}} $ In this paper, we show the existence of small coresets for the problems of computing $k$-median and $k$-means…

K-means is undoubtedly the most widely used partitional clustering algorithm. Unfortunately, due to its gradient descent nature, this algorithm is highly sensitive to the initial placement of the cluster centers. Numerous initialization…

We devise coresets for kernel $k$-Means with a general kernel, and use them to obtain new, more efficient, algorithms. Kernel $k$-Means has superior clustering capability compared to classical $k$-Means, particularly when clusters are…

K-Means++ and its distributed variant K-Means$\|$ have become de facto tools for selecting the initial seeds of K-means. While alternatives have been developed, the effectiveness, ease of implementation, and theoretical grounding of the…

More and more large data collections are gathered worldwide in various IT systems. Many of them possess the networked nature and need to be processed and analysed as graph structures. Due to their size they require very often usage of…

Traditional k-means clustering underperforms on non-convex shapes and requires the number of clusters k to be specified in advance. We propose a simple geometric enhancement: after standard k-means, each cluster center is assigned a radius…
