Automatic Clustering Using a Synergy of Genetic Algorithm and Multi-objective Differential Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper applies the Differential Evolution (DE) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to the task of automatic fuzzy clustering in a Multi-objective Optimization (MO) framework. It compares the performance a hybrid of the GA and DE (GADE) algorithms over the fuzzy clustering problem, where two conflicting fuzzy validity indices are simultaneously optimized. The resultant Pareto optimal set of solutions from each algorithm consists of a number of nondominated solutions, from which the user can choose the most promising ones according to the problem specifications. A real-coded representation of the search variables, accommodating variable number of cluster centers, is used for GADE. The performance of GADE has also been contrasted to that of two most well-known schemes of MO.
