Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We performed illustrative experiments for Euclidean k-means clustering on both synthetic and real-world data sets. We implemented our wrapper Algorithm 1 in numpy with the following base clustering algorithm A: We use 5 applications of KMEANS++ and take the set of k centroids that has the smallest clustering cost. This set is used as an initialization to 20 iterations of Lloyd s algorithm. The use of KMEANS++ to initialize Lloyd s algorithm is a prevalent method in practice. [...] Table 1 reports the results of our experiments.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Clustering Wrapper
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to open-source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets: We use the MNIST data set of images of handwritten digits (Le Cun and Cortes 2010) and the Fashion data set of images of clothing items (Xiao, Rasul, and Vollgraf 2017).
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using a "validation sample" in the Clustering Wrapper algorithm description, but it does not specify explicit training/validation/test dataset splits for the experiments conducted.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions implementation in "numpy" but does not specify version numbers for numpy or any other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes We use 5 applications of KMEANS++ and take the set of k centroids that has the smallest clustering cost. This set is used as an initialization to 20 iterations of Lloyd s algorithm.
