Noise-insensitive discriminative subspace fuzzy clustering.

Discriminative subspace clustering (DSC) can make full use of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to reduce the dimension of data and achieve effective clustering high-dimension data by clustering low-dimension data in discriminant subspace. However, most existing DSC algorithms do not consider the noise and outliers that may be contained in data sets, and when they are applied to the data sets with noise or outliers, and they often obtain poor performance due to the influence of noise and outliers. In this paper, we address the problem of the sensitivity of DSC to noise and outlier. Replacing the Euclidean distance in the objective function of LDA by an exponential non-Euclidean distance, we first develop a noise-insensitive LDA (NILDA) algorithm. Then, combining the proposed NILDA and a noise-insensitive fuzzy clustering algorithm: AFKM, we propose a noise-insensitive discriminative subspace fuzzy clustering (NIDSFC) algorithm. Experiments on some benchmark data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed NIDSFC algorithm.
