Clustering Ensemble and Applications on Big Data Abstract

Abstract

Clustering ensembles have emerged as a powerful method for improving both the quality and the robustness of the clustering by aggregating multiple clustering solutions into a single one. In some application domains, the supervised information can be collected automatically along with the unlabeled data. So incorporating limited supervision information into clustering ensemble may obtain user-desired and more accurate partitions. This seminar presents some recent algorithm developments in clustering ensemble, semi-supervised clustering ensemble, and their applications on big data.
