Although the optimization objective has a solid theoretical foundation it is hard to optimize. We propose an approximate optimization formulation that leads to an efficient algorithm with low runtime complexity. The algorithm has a single free parameter, the number of clusters to find. We demonstrate superior performance on several synthetic and real datasets.\r\n"}]}
