Abstract

In this paper, we present a new clustering algorithm, NBC, i.e., Neighborhood Based Clustering, which discovers clusters based on the neighborhood characteristics of data. The NBC algorithm has the following advantages: (1) NBC is effective in discovering clusters of arbitrary shape and different densities; (2) NBC needs fewer input parameters than the existing clustering algorithms; (3) NBC can cluster both large and high-dimensional databases efficiently.
