Cartes Auto-Organisatrices Incrémentales appliquées au Clustering Collaboratif
Abstract
Collaborative clustering aims at revealing the common structures of data distributed on
different sites using local clustering methods such as Self-Organizing Maps (SOM). To face
the ever growing quantity of data available, incremental clustering methods are required. This
paper presents an algorithm to perform incremental SOM-based collaborative clustering. The
experiments conducted on several datasets demonstrate the validity of the method and present
the influence of the batch size on the learning.
