报告摘要：In this talk, we consider the k-correlation clustering problem. Given an edge weighted graph G(V, E) where the edges are labeled either “+” (similar) or “−”(different) with nonnegative weights, we want to partition the nodes into at most k clusters to maximize agreements—the total weights of “+” edges within clusters and “−” edges between clusters. This problem is NP-hard. We design an approximation algorithm with the approximation ratio max{a, [(2−k)a+k−1]/k}, where a is the weighted proportion of “+” edges in all edges. As a varies from 0 to 1, the approximation ratio varies from k−1/k to 1 and the minimum value is 1/2.
