Abstract
Embodiments may provide techniques for clustering using predefined anchors that take into account the knowledge about the anchors. For example, a method of clustering processing may be implemented in a computer comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of points of data to be clustered and a plurality of predefined anchor data points and clustering the plurality of points of data and at least a subset of the predefined anchor data points. Further, the method may include creating a similarity function where anchor points pull stronger than regular points, such that they function as attractors.
