  • New Algorithms for Constrained Clustering Problems

    Speaker: Qilong Feng(Central South University) Time: 11:00 (Time in Beijing) 15:00 (Time in Auckland) June 17, 2021 (Thursday) Venue: Baixue Tang, UESTC Library Abstract: Designing approximation algorithms for the clustering problem remains an active area of research. However, these algorithms can significantly deteriorate their performance in real-world applications. The major reason is that real-world applications […]
