摘要
The Clustering has been widely used in many areas such as data analysis, pattern recognition, image processing. It is very difficult for most well-known clustering algorithms to select an appropriate parameter when they run on a dataset. In this paper we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on natural nearest neighbor (CB3N). Natural Nearest Neighbor is a new concept of nearest neighbor which adopts a parameter-less algorithm of searching the natural neighbors for each point in a dataset. Our experiments and performance analysis demonstrate that CB3N could not only cluster a dataset without any parameter, but also get better clustering results than other representative clustering algorithms. © 2014 by Binary Information Press
