It is important to perform the clustering task on XML documents. However, it is difficult to select the appropriate parameters’ value for the clustering algorithms. Meanwhile, current clustering algorithms lack the effective mechanism to detect outliers while treating outliers as “noise”. By integrating outlier detection with clustering, the paper takes a new approach for analyzing the XML documents by structure. After stating the concept of common neighbor based outlier, the paper proposes a new clustering algorithm, which stops clustering automatically by utilizing the outlier information and needs only one parameter, whose appropriate value range is decided in the outlier mining process. After discussing some features of the proposed algorithm, the paper adopts the XML dataset with different structure and other real-life datasets to compare it with other clustering algorithms.
