Weighted Density for The Win: Accurate Subspace Density Clustering

k-clustering typically struggles with the detection of irregular-distributed clusters due to the natural bias, while density clustering usually cannot well-adapt to different datasets and clustering tasks as it is not an oriented optimization process. This paper, therefore, proposes to perform density clustering in dynamically learned subspaces. To exploit the irregular-distributed clusters obtained by density clustering for the subspace determination, we design a new strategy to appropriately evaluate the importance of attributes. It turns out that the proposed Weighted Density-based Subspace Clustering (WDSC) algorithm inherits the unbiased merits of density clustering, and also upgrades the unlearning density clustering to be learnable under the subspace learning paradigm of k-clustering. A comprehensive evaluation including significance tests, ablation studies, qualitative comparisons, etc., shows the superiority of WDSC.

Abstract

k-clustering typically struggles with the detection of irregular-distributed clusters due to the natural bias, while density clustering usually cannot well-adapt to different datasets and clustering tasks as it is not an oriented optimization process. This paper, therefore, proposes to perform density clustering in dynamically learned subspaces. To exploit the irregular-distributed clusters obtained by density clustering for the subspace determination, we design a new strategy to appropriately evaluate the importance of attributes. It turns out that the proposed Weighted Density-based Subspace Clustering (WDSC) algorithm inherits the unbiased merits of density clustering, and also upgrades the unlearning density clustering to be learnable under the subspace learning paradigm of k-clustering. A comprehensive evaluation including significance tests, ablation studies, qualitative comparisons, etc., shows the superiority of WDSC.
