Researchers have introduced K-SurvMeans, a novel method for clustering survival data that explicitly incorporates survival outcomes into the optimization of cluster centers. This approach aims to maximize pairwise survival differences between clusters, thereby enhancing their separation from a survival perspective. Due to the non-differentiable nature of the objective function, the Particle Swarm algorithm is employed for optimization. The framework can also operate in a learned low-dimensional latent space to improve flexibility and mitigate the curse of dimensionality, as demonstrated by experiments on benchmark survival datasets.
