IPD:An Incremental Prototype based DBSCAN for large-scale data with cluster representatives
share
DBSCAN is a fundamental density-based clustering technique that identifies any arbitrary shape of the clusters. However, it becomes infeasible while handling big data. On the other hand, centroid-based clustering is important for detecting patterns in a dataset since unprocessed data points can be labeled to their nearest centroid. However, it can not detect non-spherical clusters. For a large data, it is not feasible to store and compute labels of every samples. These can be done as and when the information is required. The purpose can be accomplished when clustering act as a tool to identify cluster representatives and query is served by assigning cluster labels of nearest representative. In this paper, we propose an Incremental Prototype-based DBSCAN (IPD) algorithm which is designed to identify arbitrary-shaped clusters for large-scale data. Additionally, it chooses a set of representatives for each cluster.
