SUMMARY:Master’s Thesis Presentation: On the Computational Complexity of\
 nCenter-based Clustering
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:NICOLE MCNABB\, MASTER’S CANDIDATE\n_David R. Cheriton School
  of Computer Science_\n\nClustering is the task of partitioning data so th
 at “similar”\npoints are grouped together and “dissimilar” ones ar
 e separated.\nIn general\, this is an ill-defined task. One way to make cl
 ustering\nwell-defined is to introduce a clustering objective to optimize.
  While\nmany common objectives such as k-means are known to be NP-hard\,\n
 heuristics output “nice” clustering solutions efficiently in\npractice
 . This work analyzes two avenues of theoretical research that\nattempt to 
 explain this discrepancy.
