This paper addresses the challenge of efficient and robust data clustering by introducing a novel granular-ball (GB) generation method. The existing methods for generating GBs often rely on single indicators to measure GB quality and employ threshold-based or greedy strategies, which may not accurately capture the underlying data distribution. To overcome these limitations, this article leverages the principle of justifiable granularity to measure the quality of a GB for clustering tasks. It defines the coverage and specificity of a GB and introduces a comprehensive measure for assessing GB quality. The method incorporates binary tree pruning-based strategy and anomaly detection method to determine the best combination of sub-GBs for each GB and identify abnormal GBs, respectively. Compared to previous GB generation methods, this new method maximizes the overall quality of generated GBs while ensuring alignment with the data distribution, thereby enhancing the rationality of the generated GBs.

This paper helps us better group similar data points together by creating more accurate “granular-balls” (GBs). Right now, we don’t have a good way to make sure our GBs are really capturing what’s going on in the data. This article introduces a new way to create GBs that takes into account how well they capture the underlying patterns in the data. It uses a combination of techniques like pruning and anomaly detection to make sure the GBs are good quality. By doing this, it can group similar data points together more accurately.
