Constrained clustering; advances in algorithms, theory, and applications.


9781584889960

Constrained clustering In computer science, constrained clustering is a class of semi-supervised learning algorithms. Typically, constrained clustering incorporates either a set of must-link constraints, cannot-link constraints, or both, with a Data clustering algorithm. ; advances in algorithms, theory, and applications.

Clustering algorithms take data with any number of dimensions and group them into subsets so each member of a subset A group of commands or functions that do not include all the capabilities of the original specification. Software or hardware components designed for the subset will also work with the original.  is near the other members in some sense. In 17 articles including an introduction, contributors describe this phenomenon, focusing on semi-supervise clustering with user feedback, Gaussian mixture models with equivalence constraints, pairwise constraints as priors in probabilistic (probability) probabilistic - Relating to, or governed by, probability. The behaviour of a probabilistic system cannot be predicted exactly but the probability of certain behaviours is known. Such systems may be simulated using pseudorandom numbers.  clustering, clustering with constraints using a mean-field approximation approximation /ap·prox·i·ma·tion/ (ah-prok?si-ma´shun)
