Abstract

Cluster analysis is one of main methods used in data mining. So far there have existed many cluster analysis approaches such as partitioning method, density-based, k-means, k-nearest neighborhood, etc. Recently, some researchers have explored a few kernel-based clustering methods, e.g., kernel-based K-means clustering. The new algorithms have demonstrated some advantages. So it's needed to explore the basic principle underlain the algorithms such as whether the kernel function transformation can increase the separability of the input data in clustering and how to use the principle to construct new clustering methods. In this paper, we will discuss the problems.
