Deterministic annealing, clustering, and optimization
This work introduces the concept of deterministic annealing (DA) as a useful approach to clustering and other related optimization problems. It is strongly motivated by analogies to statistical physics, but is formally derived within information theory and probability theory. This approach enables e...
