Cautious relational clustering: A thresholding approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We address the problem of clustering relational data in a cautious way.

• The input of our approach is a relational matrix.

• We first make the matrix self-consistent and then complete it using the data.

• Missing relations are left as such in order to allow for cautious inference.

• Our approach proves to be well-suited to scarce or inconsistent input information.
