Conventional clustering algorithms utilize a single criterion that may not conform to the diverse shapes of the underlying clusters. We offer a new clustering approach that uses multiple clustering objective functions simultaneously. The proposed multiobjective clustering is a two-step process. It includes detection of clusters by a set of candidate objective functions as well as their integration into the target partition. A key ingredient of the approach is a cluster goodness function that evaluates the utility of multiple clusters using re-sampling techniques. Multiobjective data clustering is obtained as a solution to a discrete optimization problem in the space of clusters. At meta-level, our algorithm incorporates conflict resolution techniques along with the natural data constraints. An empirical study on a number of artificial and real-world data sets demonstrates that multiobjective data clustering leads to valid and robust data partitions.
