  • EXPANDING MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE CLUSTERS OF USERS OF AN ONLINE SYSTEM CLUSTERED BASED ON A SPECIFIED DIMENSION
    Publication number: 20170024455
    Abstract: An online system receives information from an entity identifying a set of users of the online system and groups users included in the set into clusters based on their similarities using a clustering model or algorithm (e.g., k-means clustering) and based on one or more parameters specified by the entity. The online system generates expanded clusters that include additional users in one or more clusters based on similarities between the additional users and users in various clusters. If an additional user is included in multiple expanded clusters, the online assigns the additional user exclusively to an expanded cluster that best fits the user.
