This paper discusses a general approach to qualitative modeling based on fuzzy logic. The method of qualitative modeling is divided into two parts: fuzzy modeling and linguistic approximation. It proposes to use a fuzzy clustering method (fuzzy c-means method) to identify the structure of a fuzzy model. To clarify the advantages of the proposed method, it also shows some examples of modeling, a...

Cluster validation is an important issue in fuzzy clustering research and many validity measures, most of which are motivated by intuitive justification considering geometrical features, have been developed. This paper proposes a new validation approach, which evaluates the validity degree of cluster partitions from the view point of the optimality of objective functions in FCM-type clustering....

This paper analyzes the suitability of fuzzy clustering methods for the discovery of relevant document relationships, motivated by the need for enhanced relevancebased navigation of Web-accessible resources. The performance evaluation of a modified Fuzzy c-Means algorithm is carried out, and a comparison with a traditional hard clustering technique is presented. Clustering precision and recall ...

Clustering is a common task in many applications e.g. digital image processing, text mining and bioinformatics. Many techniques such as k-means, hierarchical clustering and spectral clustering, have been proposed. In a previous study, we proposed a quadratic programming model to address the fuzzy binary clustering problem in the unsupervised setting and then extended it to the general clusterin...

This paper presents a fuzzy clustering algorithm, called the alternative fuzzy c-numbers (AFCN) clustering algorithm, for LR-type fuzzy numbers based on an exponential-type distance function. On the basis of the gross error sensitivity and in7uence function, this exponential-type distance is claimed to be robust with respect to noise and outliers. Hence, the AFCN clustering algorithm is more ro...

In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

-This paper presents the application to the identification of coherent generators in a power system based on the fuzzy c-means clustering. In view of the conceptual appropriateness and computational simplicity, the fuzzy c-means give a fast and flexible method for clustering analysis. At first, the coherency measures are derived from the time-domain responses of generators to reveal the relatio...

Clustering is a popular data analysis and data mining technique. In this paper, a novel chaotic particle swarm fuzzy clustering (CPSFC) algorithm based on chaotic particle swarm (CPSO) and gradient method is proposed. Fuzzy clustering model optimization is challenging, in order to solve this problem, adaptive inertia weight factor (AIWF) and iterative chaotic map with infinite collapses (ICMIC)...

Real-life data sets sometimes miss some values. The incomplete data needs specialized algorithms or preprocessing that allows the use of the algorithms for complete data. The paper presents a comparison of various techniques for handling incomplete data in the neuro-fuzzy system ANNBFIS. The crucial procedure in the creation of a fuzzy model for the neuro-fuzzy system is the partition of the in...
