  3. Different problem in traditional clustering method

  4. Different problem in traditional clustering method Partitional Clustering • Partitional Clustering • This category of clustering method try to reduce the data set into k clusters based on some criterion functions. • The most common criterion is square-error criterion. • This method favor to clusters with data points as compact and separated as possible

  5. Different problem in traditional clustering method Partitional Clustering • You may find error in case the square-error is reduced by splitting some large cluster to favor some other group. Figure: Splitting occur in large cluster by partitional method

  6. Different problem in traditional clustering method Hierarchical Clustering • Hierarchical Clustering • This category of clustering method try to merge sequences of disjoint clusters into the target k clusters base on the minimum distance between two clusters. • The distance between clusters can be measured as: • Distance between mean: • Distance between average point • Distance between two nearest point within cluster

  7. Different problem in traditional clustering method Hierarchical Clustering • This method favor hyper-spherical shape and uniform data. • Let’s take some prolonged data as example: • Result of dmean :

  8. Different problem in traditional clustering method Hierarchical Clustering • Result of dmin :

  9. Different problem in traditional clustering method Problems summary • Traditional clusteringmainly favors spherical shape. • Data in the cluster must be compact together. • Each cluster must separate far away enough. • Cluster size must be uniform. • Outliner will greatly disturb the cluster result.

  10. Basic idea of CURE clustering

  11. Basic idea of CURE clustering General CURE clustering procedure. • It is similar to hierarchical clustering approach. But it use sample point variant as the cluster representative rather than every point in the cluster. • First set a target sample number c . Than we try to select c well scattered sample points from the cluster. • The chosen scattered points are shrunk toward the centroid in a fraction of  where 0 <<1

  12. Merge Nearest Merge Nearest Basic idea of CURE clustering General CURE clustering procedure. • These points are used as representative of clusters and will be used as the point in dmin cluster merging approach. • After each merging, c sample points will be selected from original representative of previous clusters to represent new cluster. • Cluster merging will be stopped until target k cluster is found

  13. Basic idea of CURE clustering Pseudo function of CURE

  14. Basic idea of CURE clustering CURE efficient • The worst-case time complexity is O(n2logn) • The space complexity is O(n) due to the use of k-d treee and heap.

  15. Improved CURE

  16. Improved CURE Random Sampling • In case of dealing with large database, we can’t store every data point to the memory. • Handle of data merge in large database require very long time. • We use random sampling to both reduce the time complexity and memory usage. • Assume if we need to detect a cluster u present, we need to at least capture f fraction of data from this cluster f|u| • The the required sampling data s to capture can be present as follow: • You can refer to proof from the reference (i). Here we just want to show that we can determine a sample size sminsuch that the probability of get enough sample from every cluster u is 1 - 

  17. Improved CURE Partitioning and two pass clustering • In addition, we use two-pass approach to reduce the computation time. • First, we divide the n data point into p partition and each contain n/p data point. • We than pre-cluster each partition until the number of cluster n/pqreached in each partition for some q > 1 • Then each cluster in the first pass result will be used as the second pass clustering input to form the final cluster. • Each one partition’s time complexity is: • Therefore, the first pass complexity will be: • And the second pass complexity is: • Overall, the time complexity will become:

  18. Improved CUR Partitioning and two pass clustering • The overall improvement will be: • Also, to maintain the quality of clustering, we must make sure n/pq must be 2 to 3 times of k.

  19. Improved CURE Outlier elimination • We can introduce outliners elimination by two method. • Random sampling: With random sampling, most of outlier points are filtered out. • Outlier elimination: As outliner is not a compact group, it will grow in size very slowly during the cluster merge stage. We will then kick in the elimination procedure during the merging stage such that those cluster with 1 ~ 2 data points are removed from the cluster list. • In order to prevent these outliners from merging into proper cluster, we must trigger the procedure in proper stage such that we can properly remove the outliners. In general, we will trigger this procedure when cluster sets reduce to 1/3 of total data sets.

  20. Improved CURE Data labeling • Due to the use of random sample. We need to label back every remaining data points to the proper cluster group. • Each data point is assigned to the cluster group with a representative point nearest to the data point.

  21. Draw Random Sample Partition Sample Partially cluster partition Elimination outliers Cluster partial clusters Label data in disk Improved CURE Final overview of CURE flow Data

  22. Improved CURE Sample result with different parameter Different shrinking factor 

  23. Improved CURE Sample result with different parameter Different number of representatives c

  24. Improved CURE Sample result with different parameter Relation of execution time, different partition number p, and different sample points s

  25. Summary • CURE can effectively detect proper shape of the cluster with the help of scattered representative point and centroid shrinking. • CURE can reduce computation time and memory loading with random sampling and 2 pass clustering • CURE can effectively remove outlier. • The quality and effectiveness of CURE can be tuned be varying different s,p,c, to adapt different input data set.
