  • Exploratory data analysis and, in particularly, data clustering can significantly benefit from combining multiple data partitions. Clustering ensembles can offer better solutions in terms of robustness, novelty and stability [1, 2, 3]. Moreover, their parallelization capabilities can be naturally used in distributed data mining.
