A survey on exact methods for minimum sum-of-squares clustering

چکیده
Minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) consists in partitioning a given set of n entities into k clusters in order to minimize the sum of squared distances from the entities to the centroid of their cluster. Among many criteria used for cluster analysis, the minimum sum-of-squares is one of the most popular since it expresses both homogeneity and separation. A mathematical programming formulation of MSSC is as follows:

An Incremental DC Algorithm for the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Here, an algorithm is presented for solving the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problems using their difference of convex representations. The proposed algorithm is based on an incremental approach and applies the well known DC algorithm at each iteration. The proposed algorithm is tested and compared with other clustering algorithms using large real world data sets.
متن کاملA Branch-and-Cut SDP-Based Algorithm for Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) consists in partitioning a given set of n points into k clusters in order to minimize the sum of squared distances from the points to the centroid of their cluster. Recently, Peng and Xia (StudFuzz, 2005) established the equivalence between 0-1 semidefinite programming (SDP) and MSSC. In this paper, we propose a branch-and-cut algorithm for the underlyin...
متن کاملAn improved column generation algorithm for minimum sum-of-squares clustering
Given a set of entities associated with points in Euclidean space, minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) consist in partitioning this set into clusters such that the sum of squared distances from each point to the centroid of its cluster is minimized. A column generation algorithm for MSSC was given in du Merle et al. [15]. The bottleneck of that algorithm is resolution of the auxiliary prob...
متن کاملRepetitive Branch-and-Bound Using Constraint Programming for Constrained Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is a widely studied task and numerous approximate as well as a number of exact algorithms have been developed for it. Recently the interest of integrating prior knowledge in data mining has been shown, and much attention has gone into incorporating user constraints into clustering algorithms in a generic way. Exact methods for MSSC using integer linear p...
متن کاملTabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...
