K-Means as a Radial Basis function Network: a Variational and Gradient-based Equivalence

Felipe de Jesus Felix Arredondo, Alejandro Ucan-Puc, Carlos Astengo Noguez

This work establishes a rigorous variational and gradient-based equivalence between the classical K-Means algorithm and differentiable Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks w…
