Abstract
Clustering algorithm is the main field in collaborative computing of social network. How to evaluate clustering results accurately has become a hot spot in clustering algorithm research. Commonly used evaluation indexes are SC, DBI and CHI. There are two shortcomings in the calculation of three indexes. (1) Keep the number of clusters and the objects in the cluster unchanged. When transforming the feature vector, the three indexes will change greatly; (2) Keep the feature vector and the number of clusters unchanged. When changing the objects in the cluster, the three indexes will change tinily. This shows that the three indexes unable to evaluate the clustering results very well. Therefore, based on the calculation process of the three indexes, the paper proposes new three indexes - NSC, NDBI and NCHI. Through testing on standard data sets, three new indexes can better evaluate clustering results.
