    • Biclustering, co-clustering, or two-mode clustering is a data mining technique which allows simultaneous clustering of the rows and columns of a matrix.
    • The term was first introduced by Mirkin.
    • Given a set of [math]\displaystyle{ m }[/math] rows in [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] columns (i.e., an m×n matrix), the biclustering algorithm generates biclusters - a subset of rows which exhibit similar behavior across a subset of columns, or vice versa.
    • The complexity of the biclustering problem depends on the exact problem formulation, and particularly on the merit function used to evaluate the quality of a given bicluster. However most interesting variants of this problem are NP-complete requiring either large computational effort or the use of lossy heuristics to short-circuit the calculation.
    • Different biclustering algorithms have different definitions of bicluster. They are:
      • Bicluster with constant values (a),
      • Bicluster with constant values on rows or columns (b, c),
      • Bicluster with coherent values (d, e).
