Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Experimental results on benchmark datasets show that CMClusts can generate interpretable and high-quality clusterings, which reflect different user interests. We conduct experiments using real-world benchmark datasets, and compare CMClusts against representative and competitive multiple clustering methods.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 lists the procedure of CMClusts.
Open Source Code Yes The source code of CMClusts is available at https://www.sduidea.cn/codes.php?name=CMClusts.
Open Datasets Yes Seven benchmark datasets (ALOI [Geusebroek et al., 2005], Fruit [Yao et al., 2023], CMUFace [Ren et al., 2023b], COIL [Nayar, 1996], Cards [Yao et al., 2023], Web KB and Mice [Ren et al., 2023b]) are used to evaluate the performance of CMClusts and other baselines. These datasets have been widely used to validate multiple clustering methods [Bailey, 2018; Yu et al., 2024].
