Density-Based Clustering Algorithms
Line
Speaker: Iris ZHANG

 

Abstract Clustering is a division of data into groups of similar objects. It's a subject of active research in several fields such as statistics, pattern recognition and data mining. Data mining adds to clustering the complications of very large datasets with large amounts of attributes with different data type. A variety of clustering algorithms have recently emerged that can solve the problem successfully. In these algorithms, density-based clustering algorithms can meet a lot of clustering requirements very well. There are two major types of density-based clustering algorithms, connectivity-based and density function based. In this presentation, I'll introduce the representatives of these two kinds of algorithms respectively. They are DBSCAN and DENCLUE. At the end of presentation, I'll summary the traits of density-based clustering algorithms and describe some open research issues.
