Since the initial work on constrained clustering, there have been numerous advances in methods, applications, and our understanding of the theoretical properties of constraints and constrained clustering algorithms. Bringing these developments together, Constrained Clustering: Advances in Algorithms, Theory, and Applications presents an extensive collection of the latest innovations in... Read more

Sugato Basu, Ian Davidson, Kiri Wagstaff

From the Foreword
“… this book shows how constrained clustering can be used to tackle large problems involving textual, relational, and even video data. After reading this book, you will have the tools to be a better analyst [and] to gain more insight from your data, whether it be textual, audio, video, relational, genomic, or anything else.”
