Scalability in monitoring and management of cloud data centres may be improved through the clustering of virtual machines (VMs) exhibiting similar behaviour. However, available solutions for automatic VM clustering present some important drawbacks that hinder their applicability to real cloud scenarios. For example, existing solutions show a clear trade-off between the accuracy of the VMs clust...

Newman and Girvan [12] recently proposed an objective function for graph clustering called the Modularity function which allows automatic selection of the number of clusters. Empirically, higher values of the Modularity function have been shown to correlate well with good graph clustering. In this paper we propose an extended Modularity measure for categorical data clustering; first, we establi...

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DTI) provides a promising way of estimating the neural fiber pathways in the human brain non-invasively via white matter tractography. However, it is difficult to analyze the vast number of resulting tracts quantitatively. Automatic tract clustering would be useful for the neuroscience community, as it can contribute to accurate neurosurgical plannin...

Automatic clustering of spectral image data is a common problem with a diverse set of desired and potential solutions. While typical clustering techniques use first order statistics and Gaussian models, the method described in this paper utilizes the spectral data structure to generate a graph representation of the image and then clusters the data by applying the method of optimal modularity fo...

In medical microscopy, image analysis offers to pathologist a modern tool, which can be applied to several problems in cancerology: quantification of DNA content, quantification of immunostaining, nuclear mitosis counting, characterization of tumor tissue architecture. However, these problems need an accurate and automatic segmentation. In most cases, the segmentation is concerned with the extr...

Clustering is used to identify the relationship among different objects from large volume of data. The clustering analysis is feasible only when the groups are formed with important features. The existing K-Means clustering processing time and the computation cost is high. The proposed two level variable weighting algorithm calculates weights for both views and variables to identify the importa...

Photo clustering is an effective way to organize albums and it is useful in many applications, such as photo browsing and tagging. But automatic photo clustering is not an easy task due to the large variation of photo content. In this paper, we propose an interactive photo clustering paradigm that jointly explores human and computer. In this paradigm, the photo clustering task is semi-automatic...

Text summarization system can save the time for user when reading large number of documents. The summary of text summarization system usually composed of meaningful sentence which represent content of text. The relations between keyword usually come from their cooccurrences in document. This study using hierarchical clustering method cluster sentences and apply concept formal analysis to find o...
