Improving the Efficiency in Clustering using K-Medoids & Nearest Neighbor Assignment Affinity Propagation  
  Authors : G. Chandrasekhar Reddy; M. Purushottam Reddy

 

Affinity Propagation (AP) clustering continues to be proven to work in many of clustering problems. Even so, almost all of the applications handle static data. The particular affinity propagation based clustering algorithm will be individually placed on each and every object Specific cluster. Utilizing the subsequent clustering technique . we have object specific Exemplars along with an increased precision with the data connected with each and every exemplar. We carry out recognition having a the vast majority voting strategy that may be weighted simply by nearest neighbor similarity. This particular paper views the best way to utilize AP in incremental clustering problems. Firstly, we mention the problems within Incremental Affinity Propagation (IAP) clustering, then propose two techniques to solve them. Correspondingly, two IAP clustering algorithms are usually proposed. They may be IAP clustering according to K- Medoids (IAPKM) as well as IAP clustering depending on Nearest Neighbor Assignment (IAPNA). Five popular labeled data sets, realworld time series as well as a video are employed test the performance associated with IAPKM and IAPNA. Standard AP clustering is usually implemented to produce benchmark performance. Experimental results show that IAPKM and IAPNA is capable of doing comparable clustering performance together with standard AP clustering on each of the data sets. Meanwhile, the time cost is actually dramatically reduced within IAPKM and IAPNA. The two effectiveness and also the efficiency make IAPKM and IAPNA capable of being well utilized in incremental clustering tasks.

In this paper, we consider how to apply AP in incremental clustering task. We firstly point out the difficulty in IAP clustering, and then propose two strategies to solve it. Correspondingly, two IAP clustering algorithms, IAPKM and IAPNA, are proposed. Five popular labeled data sets and real world time series are used to evaluate the performance of IAPKM and IAPNA. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of IAPKM and IAPNA. The proposition of IAPKM is inspired by combining KMedoids and AP clustering, where AP clustering is good at finding an initial exemplar set and K-Medoids is good at modifying the current clustering result according to new arriving objects. Experimental results show the correctness of this idea.
