Meanwhile, could you or your readers point me to some publicly-available datasets on which we can run clustering approaches? Perhaps this info can be posted here, to benefit all readers.

Else, you are right in that the choice of k centers upper bounds the total number of partitions.Suresh Venkatasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898357513326041822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-21221452353677754742009-06-28T11:23:38.631-06:002009-06-28T11:23:38.631-06:00Isn't the search space for nearest-neighbor as...Isn't the search space for nearest-neighbor assigning of size n choose k (which is < n^k), not n^{kd}, since each way to choose k unique points from n induces a candidate Voronoi partition? I don't see how the number of dimensions matters; there are only n choose k ways to pick the cluster centers. Or are you assuming that the center of a cluster need not be one of the n points?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-76031071558587013082009-06-28T10:48:20.662-06:002009-06-28T10:48:20.662-06:00I'll be covering correlation clustering in a f...I'll be covering correlation clustering in a few posts :).
