Abstract

k-means clustering is a popular clustering method.Its core task of finding the closest prototype for every input pattern involves expensive distance calculations.W e present a novel algorithm for performing this task.Th is and other optimizations are shown to significantly improve the performance of the k-means algorithm.T he resultant algorithm produces the same (except for round-off errors) results as those of the direct algorithm.
