The well-known generalisation of hard Cmeans (HCM) clustering is fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering where a weight exponent on each fuzzy membership is introduced as the degree of fuzziness. An alternative generalisation of HCM clustering is proposed in this paper. This is called fuzzy entropy (FE) clustering where a weight factor of the fuzzy entropy function is introduced as the degree of fuzzy e...

In Data mining, Fuzzy clustering algorithms have demonstrated advantage over crisp clustering algorithms in dealing with the challenges posed by large collections of vague and uncertain natural data. This paper reviews concept of fuzzy logic and fuzzy clustering. The classical fuzzy c-means algorithm is presented and its limitations are highlighted. Based on the study of the fuzzy c-means algor...

The presented control scheme utilizes Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller to track a reference engine rotational speed and disturbance rejection during engine idling. To evaluate the performance of the controller a model of the engine is simulated and simulation results presented. ANFIS implements a first order Sugeno-style fuzzy system. It is a method for tuning an existin...

Data clustering is a process of putting similar data into groups. A clustering algorithm partitions a data set into several groups such that the similarity within a group is larger than among groups. This paper reviews four of the most representative off-line clustering techniques: K-means clustering, Fuzzy Cmeans clustering, Mountain clustering, and Subtractive clustering. The techniques are i...

In this study, an efficient method is introduced to predict the stability of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system subject to earthquake loads. In the procedure of the nonlinear dynamic analysis, a number of structures collapse and then lose their stability. The prediction of failure probability is considered as stability criterion. In order to achieve this purpose, a modified adaptive neuro ...

This article presents a study of academic performance evaluation using soft computing techniques inspired by the successful application of K-means, fuzzy C-means (FCM), subtractive clustering (SC), hybrid subtractive clustering-fuzzy C-means (SC-FCM) and hybrid subtractive clustering-adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (SC-ANFIS) methods for solving academic performance evaluation problems. M...

Noise removal is a vital role in medical imaging, such as in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). So in order to preserve the important features and to guarantee the correct diagnosis, the authors have proposed a new method for removing noise based on NL-mean filter and diffusion tensor. This paper presents a comparison of the MRI slices images segmentation extracted from a some 3D denoised techni...

This paper details the implementation of three traditional clustering techniques (K-Means clustering, Fuzzy CMeans clustering and Adaptive K-Means clustering) that are applied to extract the colour information that is used in the image segmentation process. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the analysed colour clustering techniques for the extraction of optimal features fr...

Clustering is an important technique for data mining which allows us to discover unknown relationships in our data sets. Clustering algorithms that use metrics based on the natural ordering of numbers cannot be applied to categorical (non-numerical) data. In this tutorial we will review the main methods for numerical data clustering (K-Means, Hierarchical Clustering and Fuzzy CMeans) and then s...
