Abstract

The global k-means with similarity functions algorithm is an algorithm that allows working with qualitative and quantitative features (mixed data), but it involves a heavy computational cost. Therefore, in this paper, an algorithm that accelerates the global k-means with similarity functions algorithm without significantly affecting the quality of the solution is proposed. Our algorithm called fast global k-means with similarity functions algorithm is tested and compared against the k-means with similarity functions algorithm and the global k-means with similarity functions algorithm.
