• Abstract: Measuring similarity between two objects is the core operation in existing clustering algorithms in grouping similar objects into clusters. This paper introduces a new similarity measure called point-set kernel which computes the similarity between an object and a set of objects. The proposed clustering procedure utilizes this new measure to characterize every cluster grown from a seed object. We show that the new clustering procedure is both effective and efficient that enables it to deal with large scale datasets. In contrast, existing clustering algorithms are either efficient or effective. In comparison with the state-of-the-art density-peak clustering and scalable kernel k-means clustering, we show that the proposed algorithm is more effective and runs orders of magnitude faster when applying to datasets of millions of data points, on a commonly used computing machine.

  We propose a new clustering algorithm called granular-ball clustering (GBCT) via granular-ball computing. GBCT forms clusters according to the relationship between granular-balls, instead of the traditional point relationship. As granular-balls can fit various complex data, GBCT performs much better in non-spherical data sets than other traditional clustering methods.
