Intelligent Clustering with Instance-Level Constraints
I finished a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2002. A large component in
my degree work was my dissertation, Intelligent Clustering with
Instance-Level Constraints.
Here it is: The Dissertation!
This version has been reformatted to single-spaced type, with nicer
margins, for your viewing pleasure. The 205-page double-spaced
version required by the graduate school is more than a little
unwieldy. No pdf versions as yet... if there are enough complaints,
I'll see about getting one put together. (As far as I can tell, this
will require making all of my figures into .jpgs. Mph.)
- The whole mammoth thing
(ps, 129 pages, 4.0M)
- Chapter 0:
Title page, Acknowledgements, Table of Contents, List of Figures, etc.

- For on-screen viewing: Full chapter (ps, 19 pages, 3.1M)
- For hardcopy: print this
in color (ps, 6 pages, 2.9M), and
this
in black and white (ps, 13 pages, 407k); collate and enjoy.
Believe me, it's worth it. (You are printing double-sided, aren't you?)

- Many people contributed to this work and helped me on my way
formally and informally. I am deeply grateful to all of them.
