Abstract
A computer device, a non-transitory computer storage medium, and a computer-implemented method of pattern recognition utilizing an elastic clustering algorithm. A sequence of input datapoints are assigned to a particular cluster of K clusters based on a distance from a centroid k representing a center of the particular cluster. The centroid k in each of the K clusters is shifted from a first position to a second position closer than the first position from the sequence of input datapoints. A location of the centroid k in each of the K clusters is relaxed from the second position toward an equilibrium point in the particular cluster of the K clusters. The relaxing of the location of the centroid k occurs according to an elasticity pull factor based on a distance between the centroid k of the particular cluster at a time t.
