Iterative Clustering

Iterative clustering refines clustering results through repeated application of clustering algorithms, often coupled with feature selection or dimensionality reduction steps. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of these methods, particularly for complex datasets with high dimensionality or noisy data, employing techniques like k-means, hierarchical clustering, and semidefinite programming within iterative frameworks. These advancements are impacting diverse fields, enabling better analysis of high-dimensional data in applications such as medical risk factor identification, defect detection in manufacturing, and community detection in social networks. The iterative approach enhances the robustness and interpretability of clustering results, leading to more reliable insights from complex data.
