ABSTRACT
Clustering is a widely used unsupervised data mining technique. In density-based clustering, a cluster is defined as a connected dense component and grows in the direction set by the density. In this paper we present a software system called DBStrata that implements the density-based clustering architecture together with several extensions able to boost the clustering performances and to efficiently identify outliers.

A new hybrid method based on partitioning-based DBSCAN and ant clustering
Clustering problem is an unsupervised learning problem. It is a procedure that partition data objects into matching clusters. The data objects in the same cluster are quite similar to each other and dissimilar in the other clusters. Density-based ...
AA-DBSCAN: an approximate adaptive DBSCAN for finding clusters with varying densities
Clustering is a typical data mining technique that partitions a dataset into multiple subsets of similar objects according to similarity metrics. In particular, density-based algorithms can find clusters of different shapes and sizes while remaining ...
Density-based semi-supervised clustering
Semi-supervised clustering methods guide the data partitioning and grouping process by exploiting background knowledge, among else in the form of constraints. In this study, we propose a semi-supervised density-based clustering method. Density-based ...
