Abstract

This work focuses on the scalability of the Evidence Accumulation Clustering (EAC) method. We first address the space complexity of the co-association matrix. The sparseness of the matrix is related to the construction of the clustering ensemble. Using a split and merge strategy combined with a sparse matrix representation, we empirically show that a linear space complexity is achievable in this framework, leading to the scalability of EAC method to clustering large data-sets.
