In plain words

GroupImg is an image grouping tool that uses k-means clustering accelerated through multiprocessing. It automatically organizes images into groups based on visual similarity. The software is designed for users who need to sort and categorize large image collections. Its main feature is the performance improvement gained from parallel processing, making the clustering process faster than single-threaded alternatives.

  • Want something better than k-means? Try BanditPAM2023 · github.com · ▲281

    Want something better than k-means? I'm happy to announce our SOTA k-medoids algorithm from NeurIPS 2020, BanditPAM, is now publicly available! `pip install banditpam` or `install.packages("banditpam")` and you're good to go! k-means is one of the most widely-used algorithms to cluster data. However, it has several limitations: a) it requires the use of L2 distance for efficient clustering, which also b) restricts the data you're clustering to be vectors, and c) doesn't require the means to be datapoints in the dataset. Unlike in k-means, the k-medoids problem requires cluster centers to be…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
