Books about incremental data clustering

Question

Does anyone have a suggestion of any relatively recent and good book about data clustering?
More specifically, I'm looking for incremental clustering.

Answer 1

In a field that is this actively researched, a book will be quickly out of date. Just as with regular clustering: most books still discuss just hierarchical clustering, k-means and EM.

There is a book by C.C.Aggarwal, "Data streams: models and algorithms". Chapter 2 is on clustering.

It is better to check for recent publications in this field, in particular survey articles.

There is one survey from 2009: Alireza Rezaei Mahdiraji, "Clustering data stream: A survey of algorithms". But you will want look at newer methods than these, too.

Answer 2

Not a book, but a paper on this area.

Ailon, Nir, Ragesh Jaiswal & Claire Monteleoni. 2009. Streaming k-means approximation. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems.

Answer 3

I recommend you chapter 8 from "Cluster Analysis: Basic Concepts and Algorithms" It provides a very definite overview on clustering, including Agglomerative Clustering, that we can count as incremental clustering.
