I am currently designing a clustering algorithm in collaboration with one of
my colleagues. For comparison purposes we would like to contrast it with the
Support Vector Clustering algorithm of (A. Ben-Hur, D. Horn, H.T.
Siegelmann, and V. Vapnik. Support vector clustering. Journal of Machine
Learning Research, 2:125-137, 2001). 

 

This is supposedly the most powerful unsupervised clustering algorithm
available. Unfortunately, we cannot find code for it anywhere. We have tried
emailing the authors and they cannot find the code either (one of them has
not answer yet). I was wondering, perhaps someone in the R community has
implemented it or knows about some implementation for it. We really do not
want to implement it ourselves because this will probably delay our paper
considerably. 

 

One more thing, I am talking about Support vector clustering not
classification, algorithms for that we could find in abundance.

 

Thank you for any help.
