• Abstract: Data are being collected from various aspects of life. These data can often arrive in chunks/batches. Traditional static clustering algorithms are not suitable for dynamic datasets, i.e., when data arrive in streams of chunks/batches. If we apply a conventional clustering technique over the combined dataset, then every time a new batch of data comes, the process can be slow and wasteful. Moreover, it can be challenging to store the combined dataset in memory due to its ever-increasing size. As a result, various incremental clustering techniques have been proposed. These techniques need to efficiently update the current clustering result whenever a new batch arrives, to adapt the current clustering result/solution with the latest data. These techniques also need the ability to detect concept drifts when the clustering pattern of a new batch is significantly different from older batches. Sometimes, clustering patterns may drift temporarily in a single batch while the next batches do not exhibit the drift. Therefore, incremental clustering techniques need the ability to detect a temporary drift and sustained drift. In this paper, we propose an efficient incremental clustering algorithm called UIClust. It is designed to cluster streams of data chunks, even when there are temporary or sustained concept drifts. We evaluate the performance of UIClust by comparing it with a recently published, high-quality incremental clustering algorithm. We use real and synthetic datasets. We compare the results by using well-known clustering evaluation criteria: entropy, sum of squared errors (SSE), and execution time. Our results show that UIClust outperforms the existing technique in all our experiments.

  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.

  Finding meaningful groups in high-dimensional data is an important challenge in data mining. Deep clustering methods have achieved remarkable results in these tasks. Most of these methods require the user to specify the number of clusters in advance. This is a major limitation since the number of clusters is typically unknown if labeled data is unavailable. Most of these approaches estimate the number of clusters separated from the clustering process.

• Hard Regularization to Prevent Deep Online Clustering Collapse without Data Augmentation [65.268245109828]
  Online deep clustering refers to the joint use of a feature extraction network and a clustering model to assign cluster labels to each new data point or batch as it is processed. While faster and more versatile than offline methods, online clustering can easily reach the collapsed solution where the encoder maps all inputs to the same point and all are put into a single cluster. We propose a method that does not require data augmentation, and that, differently from existing methods, regularizes the hard assignments.

  Clustering is important for many tasks such as anomaly detection, database sharding, record linkage, and others. Some clustering methods are taken as batch algorithms that incur a high overhead as they cluster all the objects in the database from scratch. Running batch algorithms is infeasible in such scenarios as it would incur a significant overhead if performed continuously.
