Randomizing the Number of Centers in k-means++

arXiv:2607. 26202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The $k$-means++ algorithm is a standard and widely used seeding method for $k$-means clustering, but for a fixed number $k$ of centers its worst-case expected approximation ratio is $\Theta(\log k)$.

A Fast and Effective Method for Euclidean Anticlustering: The Assignment-Based-Anticlustering Algorithm

arXiv:2601. 06351v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Anticlustering is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that consists of partitioning a set of objects into equal-sized groups called anticlusters such that the objects in the same anticluster are as dissimilar as possible and thereby representative of the entire set of objects.

Incremental (k, z)-Clustering on Graphs

arXiv:2602. 08542v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Given a weighted undirected graph, a number of clusters $k$, and an exponent $z$, the goal in the $(k, z)$-clustering problem on graphs is to select $k$ vertices as centers that minimize the sum of the distances raised to the power $z$ of each vertex to its closest center.
