Abstract

This document describes a research proposal for a 1 year sabbatical period under the supervision of Prof. Joerg Sander from the Databases (DB) Group of the Department of Computing Science of the University of Alberta (U of A), in Edmonton, Canada. The preliminary conception of this proposal was envisaged during a 1 week visit of Ricardo J. G. B. Campello (candidate) to the DB group of the U of A in June, 2010. During that visit, the candidate gave a seminar entitled "Relative Validity Criteria for Clustering Validation" and had technical discussions with students and professors from the group. Prof. Sander and the candidate found a number of research interests in common, particularly in what concerns the (rather unexplored) field of validation of complex clustering structures, such as those resulting from density- and graph-based data clustering algorithms. This is precisely the subject of the present research proposal. (AU)
