In recent years, clustering methods have attracted more attention in analysing and monitoring data streams. Density-based techniques are the remarkable category of clustering techniques that are able to detect the clusters with arbitrary shapes and noises. However, finding the clusters with local density varieties is a difficult task. For handling this problem, in this paper, a new density-based clustering algorithm for data streams is proposed. This algorithm can improve the offline phase of density-based algorithm based on MinPts parameter. The experimental results show that the proposed technique can improve the clustering quality in data streams with different densities.

AbstractData has become an integral part of our society in the past years, arriving faster and in larger quantities than before. Traditional clustering algorithms rely on the availability of entire datasets to model them correctly and efficiently. Such requirements are not possible in the data stream clustering scenario, where data arrives and needs to be analyzed continuously. This paper proposes a novel evolutionary clustering algorithm, entitled EvolveCluster, capable of modeling evolving data streams. We compare EvolveCluster against two other evolutionary clustering algorithms, PivotBiCluster and Split-Merge Evolutionary Clustering, by conducting experiments on three different datasets. Furthermore, we perform additional experiments on EvolveCluster to further evaluate its capabilities on clustering evolving data streams. Our results show that EvolveCluster manages to capture evolving data stream behaviors and adapts accordingly.

Real-time data stream clustering has been widely used in many fields, and it can extract useful information from massive sets of data. Most of the existing density-based algorithms cluster the data streams based on the density within the micro-clusters. These algorithms completely omit the data density in the area between the micro-clusters and recluster the micro-clusters based on erroneous assumptions about the distribution of the data within and between the micro-clusters that lead to poor clustering results. This paper describes a novel density-based clustering algorithm for evolving data streams called MCDAStream, which clusters the data stream based on micro-cluster density and attraction between the micro-clusters. The attraction of micro-clusters characterizes the positional information of the data points in each micro-cluster. We generate better clustering results by considering both micro-cluster density and attraction of micro-clusters. The quality of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on various synthetic and real-time datasets with distinct characteristics and quality metrics.

This article presents a stream mining framework to cluster the data stream and monitor its evolution. Even though concept drift is expected to be present in data streams, explicit drift detection is rarely done in stream clustering algorithms. The proposed framework is capable of explicit concept drift detection and cluster evolution analysis. Concept drift is caused by the changes in data distribution over time. Relationship between concept drift and the occurrence of physical events has been studied by applying the framework on the weather data stream. Experiments led to the conclusion that the concept drift accompanied by a change in the number of clusters indicates a significant weather event. This kind of online monitoring and its results can be utilized in weather forecasting systems in various ways. Weather data streams produced by automatic weather stations (AWS) are used to conduct this study.

Abstract In the case of real-world data streams, the underlying data distribution will not be static; it is subject to variation over time, which is known as the primary reason for concept drift. Concept drift poses severe problems to the accuracy of a model in online learning scenarios. The recurring concept is a particular case of concept drift where the concepts already seen in the past reappear as the stream evolves. This problem is not yet studied in the context of stream clustering. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for identifying the recurring concepts in data stream clustering. During concept recurrence, the most matching model is retrieved from the repository and reused. The algorithm has minimum memory requirements and works online with the stream. Some of the concepts and definitions, already familiar in concept recurrence studies of stream classification have been redefined for clustering. The experiments conducted on real and synthetic data streams reveal that the proposed algorithm has the potential to identify recurring concepts.
