Nonparametric Bayesian Clustering Ensembles
Forming consensus clusters from multiple input clusterings can improve accuracy and robustness. Current clustering ensemble methods require specifying the number of consensus clusters. A poor choice can lead to under or over fitting. This paper proposes a nonparametric Bayesian clustering ensemble (NBCE) method, which can discover the number of clusters in the consensus clustering. Three inference methods are considered: collapsed Gibbs sampling, variational Bayesian inference, and collapsed variational Bayesian inference. Comparison of NBCE with several other algorithms demonstrates its versatility and superior stability.
