An approach to the clustering problem with capacity constraints
摘要
In this paper, we propose a centroid-based algorithm for problems with capacity constraints. These constraints involve weights associated with the data points and capacities for the clusters, such that the sum of the weights of the points in each cluster must equal its capacity. This generalizes the problem with size constraints where the number of points in each cluster is specified by the user. Through numerical experiments, we demonstrate that our approach is competitive in terms of clustering quality while requiring minimal computational time.
