Abstract

Co-clustering partitions two different kinds of objects simultaneously. Bregman co-clustering is a well-studied fast iterative algorithm to perform co-clustering. However, this method is very prone to local optima. We propose a memetic algorithm to solve the co-clustering problem. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the multi-start Bregman co-clustering in both accuracy and time.
