Abstract

It is widely recognized that clustering ensemble is fit for any shape and any distribution dataset and that the boosting method provides superior results for classification problems. In the paper , a dual boosting is proposed for fuzzy clustering ensemble . At each boosting iteration, a new training set is created based on the original datasets' probability which is associated with the previous clustering. According to the dual boosting method, the new training subset contains not only the instances which is hard to cluster in previous stages , but also the instances which is easy to cluster. The final clustering solution is produced by using the clustering based on the co-association matrix. Experiments on both artifical and realworld datasets demonstrate the efficiency of the fuzzy clustering ensemble based on dual boosting in stability and accuracy.
