COOPERATIVE CLUSTERING BASED ON GRID AND DENSITY

Based on the analysis of features of the grid-based clustering method-clustering in quest （CLIQUE） and density-based clustering method-density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise （DBSCAN）, a new clustering algorithm named cooperative clustering based on grid and density （CLGRID） is presented. The new algorithm adopts an equivalent rule of regional inquiry and density unit identification. The central region of one class is calculated by the grid-based method and the margin region by a density-based method. By clustering in two phases and using only a small number of seed objects in representative units to expand the cluster, the frequency of region query can be decreased, and consequently the cost of time is reduced. The new algorithm retains positive features of both grid-based and density-based methods and avoids the difficulty of parameter searching. It can discover clusters of arbitrary shape with high efficiency and is not sensitive to noise. The application of CLGRID on test data sets demonstrates its validity and higher efficiency, which contrast with tradi- tional DBSCAN with R tree.

Hydraulic metal structure health diagnosis based on data mining technology

In conjunction with association rules for data mining, the connections between testing indices and strong and weak association rules were determined, and new derivative rules were obtained by further reasoning. Association rules were used to analyze correlation and check consistency between indices. This study shows that the judgment obtained by weak association rules or non-association rules is more accurate and more credible than that obtained by strong association rules. When the testing grades of two indices in the weak association rules are inconsistent, the testing grades of indices are more likely to be erroneous, and the mistakes are often caused by human factors. Clustering data mining technology was used to analyze the reliability of a diagnosis, or to perform health diagnosis directly. Analysis showed that the clustering results are related to the indices selected, and that if the indices selected are more significant, the characteristics of clustering results are also more significant, and the analysis or diagnosis is more credible. The indices and diagnosis analysis function produced by this study provide a necessary theoretical foundation and new ideas for the development of hydraulic metal structure health diagnosis technology.

Identifying Composite Crosscutting Concerns with Scatter-Based Graph Clustering

Identifying composite crosscutting concerns（CCs） is a research task and challenge of aspect mining.In this paper,we propose a scatter-based graph clustering approach to identify composite CCs.Inspired by the state-of-the-art link analysis tech-niques,we propose a two-state model to approximate how CCs tangle with core modules.According to this model,we obtain scatter and centralization scores for each program element.Espe-cially,the scatter scores are adopted to select CC seeds.Further-more,to identify composite CCs,we adopt a novel similarity measurement and develop an undirected graph clustering to group these seeds.Finally,we compare it with the previous work and illustrate its effectiveness in identifying composite CCs.

Fast Community Detection Based on Distance Dynamics

The distance dynamics model is excellent tool for uncovering the community structure of a complex network. However, one issue that must be addressed by this model is its very long computation time in large-scale networks. To identify the community structure of a large-scale network with high speed and high quality, in this paper, we propose a fast community detection algorithm, the F-Attractor, which is based on the distance dynamics model. The main contributions of the F-Attractor are as follows. First, we propose the use of two prejudgment rules from two different perspectives： node and edge. Based on these two rules, we develop a strategy of internal edge prejudgment for predicting the internal edges of the network. Internal edge prejudgment can reduce the number of edges and their neighbors that participate in the distance dynamics model. Second, we introduce a triangle distance to further enhance the speed of the interaction process in the distance dynamics model. This triangle distance uses two known distances to measure a third distance without any extra computation. We combine the above techniques to improve the distance dynamics model and then describe the community detection process of the F-Attractor. The results of an extensive series of experiments demonstrate that the F-Attractor offers high-speed community detection and high partition quality.
