Hi,

I tried to cluster the same data with Kmeans_pytorch, but got different clustering results. What is the cause of this?

Looking forward to your reply.

Haven't went through the code, but K-means itself is an inherently random algorithm and the outcome depends on the initialization. However, I think for an easily clustering dataset, the difference in the outcomes should be minimal.
