Weighted Clustering Ensembles

چکیده
Cluster ensembles offer a solution to challenges inherent to clustering arising from its ill-posed nature. Cluster ensembles can provide robust and stable solutions by leveraging the consensus across multiple clustering results, while averaging out emergent spurious structures that arise due to the various biases to which each participating algorithm is tuned. In this paper, we address the problem of combining multiple weighted clusters which belong to different subspaces of the input space. We leverage the diversity of the input clusterings in order to generate a consensus partition that is superior to the participating ones. Since we are dealing with weighted clusters, our consensus function makes use of the weight vectors associated with the clusters. The experimental results show that our ensemble technique is capable of producing a partition that is as good as or better than the best individual clustering.

Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...
متن کاملTechniques for Weighted Clustering Ensembles
INTRODUCTION In an effort to achieve improved classifier accuracy, extensive research has been conducted in classifier ensembles. Very recently, cluster ensembles have emerged. It is well known that off-the-shelf clustering methods may discover different structures in a given set of data. This is because each clustering algorithm has its own bias resulting from the optimization of different cri...
متن کاملDiversity-Based Weighting Schemes for Clustering Ensembles
Clustering ensembles has been recently recognized as an emerging approach to provide more robust solutions to the data clustering problem. Current methods of clustering ensembles typically fall into instance-based, cluster-based, or hybrid approaches; however, most of such methods fail in discriminating among the various clusterings that participate to the ensemble. In this paper, we address th...
متن کاملResampling-based selective clustering ensembles
Traditional clustering ensembles methods combine all obtained clustering results at hand. However, we observe that it can often achieve a better clustering solution if only part of all available clustering results are combined. This paper proposes a novel clustering ensembles method, termed as resampling-based selective clustering ensembles method. The proposed selective clustering ensembles me...
