Bringing these developments together, \u003cb\u003eConstrained Clustering: Advances in Algorithms, Theory, and Applications\u003c\/b\u003e presents an extensive collection of the latest innovations in clustering data analysis methods that use background knowledge encoded as constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlgorithms\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first five chapters of this volume investigate advances in the use of instance-level, pairwise constraints for partitional and hierarchical clustering. The book then explores other types of constraints for clustering, including cluster size balancing, minimum cluster size, and cluster-level relational constraints. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheory\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also describes variations of the traditional clustering under constraints problem as well as approximation algorithms with helpful performance guarantees. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eApplications\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book ends by applying clustering with constraints to relational data, privacy-preserving data publishing, and video surveillance data.
