Abstract:
The aim of collaborative clustering is to reveal the common underlying structures found by different algorithms while analyzing data. The fundamental concept of collaboration is that the clustering algorithms operate locally but collaborate by exchanging information about the local structures found by each algorithm. In this framework, the one purpose of this article is to introduce a new method which allows to reinforce the clustering process by exchanging information between several results acquired by different clustering algorithms. The originality of our proposed approach is that the collaboration step can use clustering results obtained from any type of algorithm during the local phase. This article gives the theoretical foundations of our approach as well as some experimental results. The proposed approach has been validated on several data sets and the results have shown to be very competitive.
