Abstract

Noise rejection is an important issue in practical application of FCM-type fuzzy clustering, and noise clustering achieves robust estimation of cluster prototypes with an additional noise cluster for dumping noise objects into it. Noise objects having larger distances from all clusters are designed to be assigned to the noise cluster, which is located in an equal (fixed) distance from all objects. Fuzzy co-clustering is an extended version of FCM-type clustering for handling cooccurrence information among objects and items, where the goal of analysis is to extract pair-wise clusters of familiar objects and items. This paper proposes a novel noise rejection model for fuzzy co-clustering induced by multinomial mixture models (MMMs), where a noise cluster is defined with homogeneous item memberships for drawing noise objects having dissimilar cooccurrence features from all general clusters. The noise rejection scheme can be also utilized in selecting the optimal cluster number through a sequential implementation with different cluster numbers.
