+// Compute a partitioning of the vertices of the graph using the
+// canonical views clustering algorithm.
+//
+// In the following we will use the terms vertices and views
+// interchangably. Given a weighted Graph G(V,E), the canonical views
+// of G are the the set of vertices that best "summarize" the content
+// of the graph. If w_ij i s the weight connecting the vertex i to
+// vertex j, and C is the set of canonical views. Then the objective
+// of the canonical views algorithm is
+//
+// E[C] = sum_[i in V] max_[j in C] w_ij
+// - size_penalty_weight * |C|
+// - similarity_penalty_weight * sum_[i in C, j in C, j > i] w_ij
+//
+// alpha is the size penalty that penalizes large number of canonical
+// views.
+//
+// beta is the similarity penalty that penalizes canonical views that
+// are too similar to other canonical views.
+//
+// Thus the canonical views algorithm tries to find a canonical view
+// for each vertex in the graph which best explains it, while trying
+// to minimize the number of canonical views and the overlap between
+// them.
+//
+// We further augment the above objective function by allowing for per
+// vertex weights, higher weights indicating a higher preference for
+// being chosen as a canonical view. Thus if w_i is the vertex weight
+// for vertex i, the objective function is then
+//
+// E[C] = sum_[i in V] max_[j in C] w_ij
+// - size_penalty_weight * |C|
+// - similarity_penalty_weight * sum_[i in C, j in C, j > i] w_ij
+// + view_score_weight * sum_[i in C] w_i
+//
+// centers will contain the vertices that are the identified
+// as the canonical views/cluster centers, and membership is a map
+// from vertices to cluster_ids. The i^th cluster center corresponds
+// to the i^th cluster.
+//
+// It is possible depending on the configuration of the clustering
+// algorithm that some of the vertices may not be assigned to any
+// cluster. In this case they are assigned to a cluster with id = -1;
