Abstract
Recent researches on data clustering is increasingly focusing on combining multiple data partitions as a way to improve the robustness of clustering solutions. Most of them focused on crisp clustering combination. Semi-supervised clustering uses a small amount of labeled data to aid and bias the clustering of unlabeled data. However, in this paper, we offer a semi-supervised clustering ensemble model based on collaborative training (SCET) and an unsupervised clustering ensemble mode based on collaborative training (UCET). In the ensemble step of SCET, semi-supervised learning is introduced. While in UCET, the knowledge used in SCET is replaced by information extracted from the base-clusterings. Then tri-training is used as consensus of clustering ensemble. The experiments on datasets from UCI machine learning repository indicate that the model improves the accuracy of clustering.
