In contrast to the traditional clustering ensemble methods that combine all the obtained clustering results, we propose the adaptive spectral clustering ensemble method to achieve a better clustering solution. This method can adaptively assess the number of the component members, which is not owned by many other algorithms. The component clusterings of the ensemble system are generated by spectral clustering （SC） which bears some good characteristics to engender the diverse committees. The selection process works by evaluating the generated component spectral clustering through resampling technique and population-based incremental learning algorithm （PBIL）. Experimental results on UCI datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve better results compared with traditional clustering ensemble methods, especially when the number of component clusterings is large.展开更多
