Following the existing semi-supervised clustering algorithm, this method uses the must-link and cannot-link constraints. Instead of using the idea that the instances with must-link constraints are pre-clustered before agglomerating with the others, this method employs a more general and reasonable process. Firstly, must-link and cannot-link constraints are expanded to compose a constraints closure. Then, a standard agglomeration instructed by cannot-link constraints is processed. During this procedure, the must-link and cannot-link are dynamically updated according to the intermediate clustering results. This updating process guarantees the validity of the final results. The fundamental advantage of this method is omitting the pre-clustering process of the instances with must-link constraints. This modification ensures that data points gain a more reasonable agglomeration order, which may result in a significant improvement on the clustering results. This research also introduces an implementation of this model based on Ward0s method, leading to the C-Ward algorithm. The experimental analyses on both Artificial simulated datasets and real world datasets show that this method is much better than the others.","PeriodicalId":35798,"journal":{"name":"自动化学报","volume":"41 1","pages":"1253-1263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67550484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
