A Generalization of Proximity Functions for K-Means
K-means is a widely used partitional clustering method. A large amount of effort has been made on finding better proximity (distance) functions for K-means. However, the common c...

Clustering for metric and nonmetric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...

Clustering a medieval social network by SOM using a kernel based distance measure
Abstract. In order to explore the social organization of a medieval peasant community before the Hundred Years’ War, we propose the use of an adaptation of the well-known Kohonen...

A Contrast Pattern Based Clustering Quality Index for Categorical Data
Since clustering is unsupervised and highly explorative, clustering validation (i.e. assessing the quality of clustering solutions) has been an important and long standing researc...
