Researchers from Meta and École Polytechnique propose e-means, which reaches Lloyd's 25-epoch test loss in just 1.2 to 3 epochs. End-to-end measurements show 10-45x wall-clock speedups on GPU versus Flash-KMeans and 8-15x on CPU versus Faiss, while also achieving lower loss, breaking the usual speed-quality tradeoff in k-means.
