  • Patent number: 11664129
    Abstract: A method is provided for clustering data elements to extract specific patterns. The method specifies some data elements with a uniform distribution as a mini-batch and performs a single-pass cluster initialization by selecting a respective data element from the mini-batch as a respective initial cluster center to obtain cluster centers for clusters. The method assigns each data element in the mini-batch to a closest cluster by calculating a distance between each of the data elements in the mini-batch and each of the clusters. The method assigns k-minimum new centers by calculating an averaged distance to each data element in a same cluster. The method repeats the specifying step and the assigning steps responsive to a dissatisfaction of loop stop criteria which is based on distances between the centers and the K-minimum new centers. The method outputs a cluster id sequence responsive to a satisfaction of the loop stop criteria.
