ABSTRACT
Clustering evolving data streams is importan t to be performed in a limited time with a reasonable quality. The e xisting
micro clustering based methods do not consider the distribution of data points inside the micro cluster. We propose

1. Introduction
Mining data stream became more prominent in many
applications, including real-time detection of anomalies
in computer network traffic, web searches, monitoring
environmental sensors, social networks, sensor networks,
and cyber-physical systems [1]. In these applications,
data streams arrive continuously and evolve significantly
over time. Mining data streams is related to extracting
knowledge structure represented in streams information.
Clustering is a significant data streams’ mining task [2-6].
However, clustering in data stream environment needs
some special requirements due to the data stream’s cha-
racteristics such as clustering in limited memory and
time with single pass over the evolving data streams and
further ha n dling nois y da t a [ 7-9].
There are various methods of clustering in the litera-
ture such as partitioning and hierarchical, which are de-
veloped to find spherical-shape clusters. One of the im-
portant classes in clustering is density-based clustering
which can discover the clusters of non-spherical shape
and filter out the outliers. The density-based clustering
algorithms can find non-spherical shape clusters and are
useful for identifying the noise. Some typical examples
of density-based algorithms include DBSCAN [10], OP-
TICS [11], and DENCLUE [12]. The main idea in these
), a density-based clustering al-
gorithm using leader clustering. The algorithm is based on a two-phase clustering. The online phase selects the proper
mini-micro or micro-cluster leaders based on the distribution of data points in the micro clusters. Then, the leader cen-
ters are sent to the offline phase to form final clusters. In LeaDen-Stream, by carefully choosing between two kinds of
micro leaders, we decrease time complexity of the clustering while maintaining the cluster quality. A pruning strategy is
also used to filter out real data from noise by introducing dense and sparse mini-micro and micro-cluster leaders. Our
performance study over a number of real and synthetic data sets demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of our
method.
algorithms is to consider the dense area of points in the
data space as clusters, which are separated by low-den-
sity area (noise). Another method of clustering is grid-
based which has fast processing time and is independent
from the number of data points. Moreover, some algo-
rithms are developed based on the integration of grid and
density based termed as density grid based clustering
algorithms [13].
Micro clustering is a remarkable method in stream
clustering to compress data streams effectively and to
record the temporal locality of data [6]. The micro-clus-
ter was first proposed in [14] for large data sets, and
subsequently adapted in [5] for data streams. The micro-
clustering method for clustering data streams has at-
tracted considerable attention in literatu re [5,15-20].
In [21], a two-level hybrid DBSCAN algorithm, L-
DBSCAN, is proposed. First, it searches each point in
dataset and finds out the coarse leaders at a coarse level
in order to reduce time complexity. Then, it uses these
leaders to deter mine density-based clusters in a finer level
to reduce the deviation of the result. Furthermore, L-
DBSCAN is developed into rough-DBSCAN in [22].
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows:
Section 2 surveys related work. Section 3 introduces ba-
sic definitions. In Section 4, we explain the LeaDen-

Stream algorithm in details. We conduct experimental
study of LeaDen-Stream on real-world and synthetic data
sets in Section 5 and conclude the paper in Section 6.
2. Related Work
Algorithms on clustering data streams are categorized as
one-scan and evolving approaches. The one-scan ap-
proaches cluster the data streams by scanning only once
under the assumption that the data arrives in chunks
[7,23]. In evolving approaches, the behavior of data streams
is defined based on certain time window. Fading window
model and sliding window model are widely adopted in
stream mining [5,9,15,17,24-26].
Most of clustering algorithms over evolving data
streams have two phases firstly introduced by CluStream
[5]. CluStream has online and offline phases. The online
phase keeps summary information, and the offline phase
generates clusters based on synopsis information. How-
ever, CluStream, which is based on the k-means ap-
proach, finds only spherical clusters. Density-based clus-
tering can overcome this limitation. Therefore, recently
density-based clustering is extended in two phase clus-
tering [9,17, 24,27,28].
Den-stream [17] is a clustering algorithm for evolving
data stream. The algorithm extends the micro cluster [5]
concept, and introduces the outlier and potential micro
clusters to distinguish between real data and outliers.
Den-Stream is based on fading window model in which
the importance of micro-clusters is reduced over time if
there are no incoming data points.
MR-Stream [9] is an algorithm, which has the ability
to cluster data streams at multiple resolutions. The algo-
rithm partitions the data space in cells and a tree like data
structure, which keeps the space partitioning. The tree
data structure keeps the data clustering in different reso-
lutions. Each node has the summary information about its
parent and children. The algorithm improves the perfor-
mance of clustering by determining the right time to
generate the clusters.
D-Stream [24] is a density grid-based algorithm in
which the data points are mapped to the corresponding
grids and the grids are clustered based on their density. It
uses a multi-resolution approach to cluster analysis.
We compared the time complexity and the clustering
quality of DenStream, MR-Stream, and D-Stream algo-
rithms. The results are shown in Figures 1 and 2. In
terms of time complexity, D-Stream has the lowest time
complexity; however, it has low quality since the clus-
tering quality depends on the granularity of the lowest
level of the grid structure. DenStream has a higher time
complexity compared to D-Stream; however, it has a
better memory usage and quality. MR-Stream has the
highest time complexity and memory usage while it has

good quality.
In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm which we
call it LeaDenStream with good quality while its time
complexity is as low as D-Stream. We introduce new
concepts, which are called Mini Micro Leader Cluster
and Micro Leader Cluster. We present a new method in
which we have to define the granularity of Micro Leaders
based on their inside data distribution (which is not con-
sidered in any of the existing algorithms). For example,
in Den-Stream only the center of potential micro clusters
are sent to its offline phase. However, if the data points
are not distributed uniformly inside the micro cluster,
sending only one representative point for each micro
cluster leads to less accuracy. Therefore, using Mini Mi-
cro Leader Cluster keeps the quality and Micro Leader-
Cluster decreases the time complexity. Figure 3 shows
the Mini Micro Leader Cluster and Micro Leader Cluster
in the micro cluster. The situation is compared with
DenStream. We also used Mahalanobis distance instead
of Euclidean distance for identifying correct cluster cen-
ter, which increases the quality of clustering as well.

time for converting a dense mini-micro leader to a sparse,
convert sparse mini-micro leader clusters to dense and
vice versa. We remove the sparse mini micro and micro
leader clusters in PuringLeaderClusters (Algorithm 3).
Our clustering algorithm is divided into tw o phases:
Online phase: keeping Mini-Micro and Micro leader
clusters
Offline phase: generating final clusters
4.1. Keeping Mini-Micro and Micro Leader
Clusters
This phase is triggered when a data point arrives from
data streams. The procedure is described as follows (Al-
gorithm 2, Adjust Leader Clusters):
1) We try to find the nearest micro leader cluster to the
data point
2) If we find such a micro leader cluster, we try to find
nearest mini-micro leader cluster to the data point.
(a) If there is such a mini-micro cluster leader then
merge the data point to the nearest mini-micro cluster
leader.
(b) Otherwise, form a new mini-micro cluster with x as
the center of new mini-micro cluster.
3) Otherwise, there is not such micro leader cluster,
form a new micro leader cluster with x as the center of

new micro leader cluster.
Furthermore, we prune the mini-micro and micro
leader clusters in the gap time in Algorithm 3, Puring
Leader Clusters. In the pruning time, all the micro leader
clusters and their Mini Micro Cluster Leaders are
checked. Micro and mini-micro leader clusters are kept
in the tree structure to make it easier for searching and
updating. Based on different kinds of Mini Micro Cluster
inside micro cluster different decisions are made for
prunin g, which are de scribed a s f ol lows:
All the mini-micro leader clusters are dense: micro
leader cluster center is kept for the offline phase
All the mini-micro leader clusters are sparse: mini
micro leader clusters are removed as well as their mi-
cro leader cluster.
Some of mini-micro leader clusters are dense and
some of them are sparse:
1) Remove the sparse mini-micro leader clusters
2) Keep the center of the dense mini-micro leader
clusters fo r t he offline pha se
4.2. Generating Final Clusters
The online phase maintains micro and mini-micro leaders
clusters. However, we need to use a clustering algorithm
to get the final clusters. When a clustering request arrives,
DBSCAN algorithm is used on the micro and mini-micro
leader cluster centers to get the final results. Each mini-
micro and micro leader center is used as a virtual point to
be used for clustering.
5. Experimental Evaluation
We implemented LeaDen-Stream in Massive Online
Analysis (MOA)1 [30] (Figure 4). In order to evaluate
the clustering quality and scalability of the LeaDen-
Stream algorithm, both real and synthetic data sets are

used. The synthetic data set is depicted in Figure 5. The
real data set is the KDD CUP99 Network Intrusion De-
tection data set (all 34 continuous attributes out of the
total 42 available attributes are used). Using MOA
framework, the clustering quality of LeaDen-Stream al-
gorithm is evaluated and compared with CluStream and
Den-Stream based on purity [31]. The efficiency is mea-
sured by the execution time. The quality of LeaDen-
Stream is higher than CluStream with lower execution
time. The LeaDen-Stream clustering quality is equal to
DenStream while it runs faster than DenStream.
6. Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed LeaDen-Stream, an al-
gorithm for density-based clustering of evolving data
stream using leader clustering. The algorithm runs in two
phases. The method determines data points for offline
clustering based on the distribution of the data inside the
micro leader clusters. If the data is uniformly distributed,
it only sends the micro leaders’ centers. However, if the
data is non-unif ormly distributed, instead of micro leader
centers their dense mini-micro leader cluster centers are
kept for the offline phase. The pruning strategy is de-
signed to eliminate the sparse mini-micro and micro
leader clusters and to keep the dense ones for the offline
phase.
Mini-micro and micro leader clusters are used in terms
of increasing cluster quality and decreasing the time
complexity. Using more than one representative point in
cases that some of the mini-micro leader clusters are
dense and some sparse, improves the quality of clustering.
On the other hand, in cases that all of the mini-micro
leader clusters are dense, sending only the micro leader
cluster’s center is enough for the offline phase, which in

turn saves the time complexity.
Experimental results on a real-world data set as well as
a synthetic data validates the design goals and shows that
LeaDen-Stream significantly improves over DenStream
and Clustream in terms of both clustering quality and
time. As a future work, we want to automate the parame-
ters of LeaDen-Stream and examine our algorithm in a
sliding window model.
