So, hold on, if you wrote this in 2008, why the hell did you keep writing this blog instead of publishing at least one of what were eventually numerous papers on information-theoretic clustering with mutual-information measurements? Some of those didn’t even come out until 2012 or 2014 or so, so it’s not like you wouldn’t have had time to publish a solid revision to MI-clustering if you came up with a good algorithm.
