Clustering Algorithm for Sequences of Categorical Values

범주형 값들이 순서를 가지고 있는 데이터들의 클러스터링 기법

We study clustering algorithm for sequences of categorical values. Clustering is a data mining problem that has received significant attention by the database community. Traditional clustering algorlthms deal with numerical or categorical data points. However, there exist many important databases that store categorical data sequences. In this paper we introduce new similarity measure and develope a hierarchical clustering algorithm. An experimental section shows performance of the proposed approach.
