Abstract

Data privacy preservation has drawn considerable interests in data mining research recently. The k-anonymity model is a simple and practical approach for data privacy preservation. This paper proposes a novel clustering method for conducting the k-anonymity model effectively. In the proposed clustering method, feature weights are automatically adjusted so that the information distortion can be reduced. A set of experiments show that the proposed method keeps the benefit of scalability and computational efficiency when comparing to other popular clustering algorithms.
