Abstract

The previous evolutionary clustering methods for time-evolving data usually adopt the temporal smoothness framework, which controls the balance between temporal noise and true concept drift of clusters. They, however, have two major drawbacks: (1) assuming a fixed number of clusters over time; (2) the penalty term may reduce the accuracy of the clustering. In this paper, a Multimodal Evolutionary Clustering (MEC) based on Differential Evolution (DE) is presented to cope with these problems. With an existing chromosome representation of the ACDE, the MEC automatically determines the cluster number at each time step. Moreover, instead of adopting the temporal smoothness framework, we try to deal with the problem from view of the multimodal optimization. That is, the species-based DE (SDE) for multimodal optimization is adopted in the MEC. Thus the MEC is a hybrid of the ACDE and the SDE, and designed for time-evolving data clustering. Experimental evaluation demonstrates the MEC achieves good results.
