abstract = {K-means algorithm is one of the most popular clustering algorithms that has been survived for 
more than 4 decades. Despite its inherent flaw of not knowing the number of clusters in advance, very few 
methods have been proposed in the literature to overcome it. The paper contains a fast heuristic algorithm for 
guessing the number of clusters as well as cluster center initialization without actually performing K-means, 
under  the  assumption  that  the  clusters  are  well  separated  in  a  certain  way.  The  proposed  algorithm  is 
experimented  on  various  synthetic  data.  The  experimental  results  show  the  effectiveness  of  the  proposed 
approach over the existing.
