Abstract

Detecting overlapping groups is an important challenge in clustering offering relevant solutions for many applications domains. Recently, Parametrized R-OKMmethod was defined as an extension of OKMto control overlapping boundaries between clusters. However, the performance of both, OKMand Parametrized R-OKM is considerably reduced when data contain outliers. The presence of outliers affects the resulting clusters and yields to clusters which do not fit the true structure of data. In order to improve the existing methods, we propose a robust method able to detect relevant overlapping clusters with outliers identification. Experiments performed on artificial and real multi-labeled data sets showed the effectiveness of the proposed method to produce relevant non disjoint groups.
