Figure3. APCs A1-A4 connected within range of cohesion-factor-threshold form members of one ARB-AIDEN: A Density Conscious Artificial Immune System for Automatic Discovery of Arbitrary Shape Clusters in Spatial Patterns

Figure3 depicts this process. The
model with the above specification then effectively detects self or non-self pathogens. In terms of
its application to the task of clustering, this interpretation means making the affinities high within
clusters and low across clusters. A pathogen corresponding to an outlier would not stimulate a TCR
sufficiently and may not form part of any ARB.
