An enormous amount of information available via the Internet exists. Much of this data is in the form of text-based documents. These documents cover a variety of topics that are v...
The validation of clusters discovered in bio-molecular data is a central issue in bioinformatics. Recently, stability-based methods have been successfully applied to the analysis o...
Many important problems involve clustering large datasets. Although naive implementations of clustering are computationally expensive, there are established efficient techniques f...
In this paper, we investigate how to scale hierarchical clustering methods (such as OPTICS) to extremely large databases by utilizing data compression methods (such as BIRCH or ra...
