This is the first part of a large survey paper in which we analyze recent literature on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and some closely related disciplines using FCA. We collected 1072 papers published between 2003-2011 mentioning terms related to Formal Concept Analysis in the title, abstract and keywords. We developed a knowledge browsing environment to support our literature analysis process....

This study proposes a novel Intuitionistic fuzzy c-least squares support vector regression (IFCLSSVR) with sammon mapping clustering algorithm. The proposed clustering algorithm can obtain the advantages of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, LSSVR, and sammon mapping in actual clustering problems. Moreover, IFC-LSSVR with sammon mapping adopts particle swarm optimization (PSO) to search optimal paramet...

In this paper, we present a missing data imputation method based on one of the most popular techniques in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), i.e. clustering technique. We combine the clustering method with soft computing, which tends to be more tolerant of imprecision and uncertainty, and apply a fuzzy clustering algorithm to deal with incomplete data. Our experiments show that the fuzzy i...

In fuzzy clustering algorithms each object has a fuzzy membership associated with each cluster indicating the degree of association of the object to the cluster. Here we present a fuzzy subspace clustering algorithm, FSC, in which each dimension has a weight associated with each cluster indicating the degree of importance of the dimension to the cluster. Using fuzzy techniques for subspace clus...

Multicast routing is one of the most important services in Multi Radio Multi Channel (MRMC) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). Multicast routing performance in WMNs could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. In this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in WMNs. The channels...

Semi-supervised clustering is an important method which can improve clustering performance by introducing partial supervised information. This paper mainly studies the semi-supervised fuzzy clustering based on Mahalanobis distance and Gaussian Kernel for SCAPC algorithm. Here, we give a new semi-supervised fuzzy clustering objective function. By solving the optimization problem with above objec...

The growth of biomedical databases has seen a demand for data mining techniques to efficiently and effectively analyse the data contained within. One important consideration is the need to include expert’s opinions within the knowledge discovery process. However, this can be difficult to accomplish when such heuristics are presented in loosely defined, fuzzy terms. We present the use of an Adap...

Up to now, several algorithms for clustering large data sets have been presented. Most clustering approaches for data sets are the crisp ones, which cannot be well suitable to the fuzzy case. In this paper, the authors explore a single pass approach to fuzzy possibilistic clustering over large data set. The basic idea of the proposed approach (weighted fuzzy-possibilistic c-means, WFPCM) is to ...

In this paper proposes different conventional and fuzzy based clustering techniques for fault detection and isolation in process plant monitoring. Process plant monitoring is very important aspect to improve productiveness and efficiency of the product and plant. This paper takes a case study of plant data and implements K means algorithm and fuzzy C means algorithm to cluster the relevant data...
