Abstract

Edge bundling is a technique used to improve the readability of large graph drawings by grouping edges to reduce visual complexity. This paper treats this task as a clustering problem, using compatibility metrics to evaluate solutions in an optimization pipeline combined with a clustering ensemble approach. The aim is to present the Clustering Ensemble-based Edge Bundling (CEBEB) method for solving the General-based Edge Bundling (GBEB) problem and report results for some given graphs. The CEBEB method proved very promising and generated better solutions than an existing evolutionary algorithm. Additionally, the paper introduces a new ensemble algorithm, specific for the GBEB, and reviews some previous results.

利用聚类组合通过边缘捆绑增强图形绘制能力

边缘捆绑是一种通过对边缘进行分组来降低视觉复杂性，从而提高大型图形可读性的技术。本文将这一任务视为聚类问题，在结合聚类集合方法的优化管道中使用兼容性指标来评估解决方案。本文旨在介绍基于聚类集合的边缘捆绑（CEBEB）方法，以解决基于通用的边缘捆绑（GBEB）问题，并报告一些给定图形的结果。事实证明，CEBEB 方法很有前途，比现有的进化算法生成了更好的解决方案。此外，论文还介绍了一种专门针对 GBEB 的新集合算法，并回顾了之前的一些结果。
