Abstract

Spherical k-means clustering is a generalization of k-means problem which is NP-hard and has widely applications in data mining. It aims to partition a collection of given data with unit length into k sets so as to minimize the within-cluster sum of cosine dissimilarity. In this paper, we introduce the spherical k-means clustering with penalties and give a \(2\max \{2,M\}(1+M)(\ln k+2)\)-approximate algorithm, where M is the ratio of the maximal and the minimal penalty values of the given data set.
