Adaptive Clustering Algorithms

Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive clustering approach. We focus on re-clustering an object set, previously clustered, when the feature set characterizing the objects increases. We have developed adaptive extensions for two traditional clustering algorithms (k-means and Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering). These extensions can be used for adjusting a clustering, that was established by applying the corresponding non-adaptive clustering algorithm before the feature set changed. We aim to reach the result more efficiently than applying the corresponding non-adaptive algorithm starting from the current clustering or from scratch. Experiments testing the method’s efficiency are also reported.
