We present polynomial upper and lower bounds on the number of iterations performed by the k-means method (a.k.a. Lloyd's method) for k-means clustering. Our upper bounds are ...
— This paper shows that the k-means quantization of a signal can be interpreted both as a crisp indicator function and as a fuzzy membership assignment describing fuzzy clusters ...
The k-means method is a widely used clustering algorithm. One of its distinguished features is its speed in practice. Its worst-case running-time, however, is exponential, leaving...
We introduce a class of geodesic distances and extend the K-means clustering algorithm to employ this distance metric. Empirically, we demonstrate that our geodesic K-means algori...
Although each iteration of the popular kMeans clustering heuristic scales well to larger problem sizes, it often requires an unacceptably-high number of iterations to converge to ...
