Theodore Vasiloudis commented on FLINK-1731: -------------------------------------------- Yeah that might be the better option. The optimization framework is more developer oriented, but since Kmeans is mostly aimed at practitioners it would be better to abstract away the complexity. > Add kMeans clustering algorithm to machine learning library > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1731 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Machine Learning Library > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Assignee: Peter Schrott > Labels: ML > > The Flink repository already contains a kMeans implementation but it is not > yet ported to the machine learning library. I assume that only the used data > types have to be adapted and then it can be more or less directly moved to > flink-ml. > The kMeans++ [1] and the kMeans|| [2] algorithm constitute a better > implementation because the improve the initial seeding phase to achieve near > optimal clustering. It might be worthwhile to implement kMeans||. > Resources: > [1] http://ilpubs.stanford.edu:8090/778/1/2006-13.pdf > [2] http://theory.stanford.edu/~sergei/papers/vldb12-kmpar.pdf -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
