Heterogeneous Transfer Learning in Ensemble Clustering
share
This work proposes an ensemble clustering method using transfer learning approach. We consider a clustering problem, in which in addition to data under consideration, "similar" labeled data are available. The datasets can be described with different features. The method is based on constructing meta-features which describe structural characteristics of data, and their transfer from source to target domain. An experimental study of the method using Monte Carlo modeling has confirmed its efficiency. In comparison with other similar methods, the proposed one is able to work under arbitrary feature descriptions of source and target domains; it has smaller complexity.
