Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Methodology • Experiments • Conclusions • Comments
Motivation • It is a nontrivial task to perform clustering on mixed data because there exists an awkward gap between the similarity metrics for categorical and numerical data.
Objectives • This paper presents a general clustering framework based on the concept of object-cluster similarity and gives a unified similarity metric which can be applied to the data with categorical, numerical, and mixed attributes.
Methodologyobject-cluster similarity metric categorical attribute
Methodologyobject-cluster similarity metric • numerical attributes • mixed data

Conclusions • We adopt our new approach can improve the time-consumingand efficiency of the process and overcome the cluster number selection problem.
Comments • Advantages More save time and efficiency. Applications -Clustering
