Shallow decision trees for explainable k-means clustering

E Laber, L Murtinho, F Oliveira - Pattern Recognition, 2023 - Elsevier
A number of recent works have employed decision trees for the construction of explainable
partitions that aim to minimize the k-means cost function. These works, however, largely …

[HTML][HTML] How to find a good explanation for clustering?

S Bandyapadhyay, FV Fomin, PA Golovach… - Artificial Intelligence, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract k-means and k-median clustering are powerful unsupervised machine learning
techniques. However, due to complicated dependencies on all the features, it is challenging …

Nearly-tight and oblivious algorithms for explainable clustering

B Gamlath, X Jia, A Polak… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of explainable clustering in the setting first formalized by Dasgupta,

Near-Optimal Explainable k-Means for All Dimensions

M Charikar, L Hu - Proceedings of the 2022 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2022 - SIAM
Many clustering algorithms are guided by certain cost functions such as the widely-used k-
means cost. These algorithms divide data points into clusters with often complicated …

Random cuts are optimal for explainable k-medians

K Makarychev, L Shan - Advances in Neural Information …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We show that the RandomCoordinateCut algorithm gives the optimal competitive ratio for
