The fuzzy c-means (FCM) has been a well-known algorithm in machine learning/data mining area as a clustering algorithm. It can also be used for image segmentation, but the algorithm is not robust to noise. The possibilistic c-means (PCM) algorithm was proposed to overcome such a problem. However, the performance of PCM is too sensitive to the initialization of cluster centers, and often deterio...

In spite of its computational efficiency and wide spread popularity, the FCM algorithm does not take the spatial information of pixels into consideration. In this paper, a multiple kernel fuzzy c-means clustering (MKFCM) algorithm is presented for fuzzy segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images. By introducing a novel adaptive method to compute the weights of local spatial values in the ob...

Fuzzy clustering based on generalized entropy is studied. By introducing the generalized entropy into objective function of fuzzy clustering, a unified model is given for fuzzy clustering in this paper. Then fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the generalized entropy is presented. At the same time, by introducing the spatial information of image into the generalized entropy fuzzy clustering alg...

Fuzzy co-clustering is a technique that performs simultaneous fuzzy clustering of objects and features. It is known to be suitable for categorizing high-dimensional data, due to its dynamic dimensionality reduction mechanism achieved through simultaneous feature clustering. We introduce a new fuzzy co-clustering algorithm called Heuristic Fuzzy Co-clustering with the Ruspini’s condition (HFCR),...

Advances in distributed networking have resulted in an explosion in size of modern datasets while storage and processing power continue to lag behind. This requires the need for algorithms that are efficient in terms of number of measurements and running time. To combat challenges associated with large datasets in distributed networks we propose hierarchical intuitionistic fuzzy possibilistic c...

the concept of intelligently controlling the search process of gravitational search algorithm (gsa) is introduced to develop a novel data mining technique. the proposed method is called fuzzy gsa miner (fgsa-miner). at first a fuzzy controller is designed for adaptively controlling the gravitational coefficient and the number of effective objects, as two important parameters which play major ro...

in this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp-fd) is considered. the clrp-fd is composed of two well-known problems: facility location problem and vehicle routing problem. the problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of hazardous wastes and food and drink distribution. in clrp-fd, a set of c...

Fuzzy control strategy is developed for the dual-clutch single-axis torque coupling parallel hybrid electric vehicle. In this paper the torque distribution fuzzy controller which has been designed for the hybrid vehicle which is optimized by genetic algorithms. The simulation model of the hybrid vehicle was built upon matlab / simulink and ADVISOR software. Then a fuzzy rules and correspondent ...
