Cluster-Based Cumulative Ensembles
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a cluster-based cumulative representation for cluster ensembles. Cluster labels are mapped to incrementally accumulated clusters, and a matching criterion based on maximum similarity is used. The ensemble method is investigated with bootstrap re-sampling, where the k-means algorithm is used to generate high granularity clusterings. For combining, group average hierarchical metaclustering is applied and the Jaccard measure is used for cluster similarity computation. Patterns are assigned to combined meta-clusters based on estimated cluster assignment probabilities. The cluster-based cumulative ensembles are more compact than co-association-based ensembles. Experimental results on artificial and real data show reduction of the error rate across varying ensemble parameters and cluster structures.

Diversity-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 کاملBayesian Cluster Ensembles
Cluster ensembles provide a framework for combining multiple base clusterings of a dataset to generate a stable and robust consensus clustering. There are important variants of the basic cluster ensemble problem, notably including cluster ensembles with missing values, as well as row-distributed or column-distributed cluster ensembles. Existing cluster ensemble algorithms are applicable only to...
متن کاملCluster Ensembles for High Dimensional Clustering: An Empirical Study
This paper studies cluster ensembles for high dimensional data clustering. We examine three different approaches to constructing cluster ensembles. To address high dimensionality, we focus on ensemble construction methods that build on two popular dimension reduction techniques, random projection and principal component analysis (PCA). We present evidence showing that ensembles generated by ran...
متن کاملModerate diversity for better cluster ensembles
Adjusted Rand index is used to measure diversity in cluster ensembles and a diversity measure is subsequently proposed. Although the measure was found to be related to the quality of the ensemble, this relationship appeared to be non-monotonic. In some cases, ensembles which exhibited a moderate level of diversity gave a more accurate clustering. Based on this, a procedure for building a cluste...
متن کاملComparison of Accuracy of Spectral Clustering and Cluster Ensembles Based on Co-occurrence Matrix
High accuracy of the results is very important task in any grouping problem (clustering). It determines effectiveness of the decisions based on them. Therefore in the literature there are proposed methods and solutions that main aim is to give more accurate results than traditional clustering algorithms (e.g. k-means or hierarchical methods). Examples of such solutions can be cluster ensembles ...
