Abstract. Data streams have recently attracted attention for their applicability to numerous domains including credit fraud detection, network intrusion detection, and click streams. Stream clustering is a technique that performs cluster analysis of data streams that is able to monitor the results in real time. A data stream is continuously generated sequences of data for which the characteristics of the data evolve over time. A good stream clustering algorithm should recognize such evolution and yield a cluster model that conforms to the current data. In this paper, we propose a new technique for stream clustering which supports five evolutions that are appearance, disappearance, selfevolution, merge and split.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
