Pattern-based clustering has broad applications in microarray data analysis, customer segmentation, e-business data analysis, etc. However, pattern-based clustering often returns a large number of highly-overlapping clusters, which makes it hard for users to identify interesting patterns from the mining results. Moreover, there lacks of a general model for pattern-based clustering. Different kinds of patterns or different measures on the pattern coherence may require different algorithms. In this paper, we address the above two problems by proposing a general quality-driven approach to mining top-k quality pattern-based clusters. We examine our quality-driven approach using real world microarray data sets. The experimental results show that our method is general, effective and efficient. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
