N2 - K-Means is the most commonly used clustering algorithm. Despite its numerous advantages, it has a crucial drawback: the final cluster structure entirely relies on the choice of initial seeds. In this paper, a new seeds initialization algorithm based on centrality, sparsity, and isotropy is proposed. Preliminary experiments show that the proposed algorithm not only resulted in better clustering structures, but also accelerated the convergence.
