Thoughts on clustering

چکیده
Clustering is a somewhat confusing topic theoretically. In large part this is because there are many different kinds of clustering problems. In addition, the true goals in clustering are often difficult to measure, making the task seem not well-defined and under-specified. In this note we discuss one approach from [6] to theoretically formulating a certain broad class of clustering problems, and discuss relations between this and other approaches. We also make a few suggestions and state a few open directions.
