clustering is the process of dividing a set of input data into a number of subgroups. the members of each subgroup are similar to each other but different from members of other subgroups. the genetic algorithm has enjoyed many applications in clustering data. one of these applications is the clustering of images. the problem with the earlier methods used in clustering images was in selecting in...

in this paper a non linear integrated fuzzy multi-objective production planning model with the labor learning and machines deterioration effects is presented. the objective function consists of two quantitative objectives namely increase profits and reduces the cost of system failure and a qualitative objective namely increases the satisfaction rate of the customers. different weights for objec...

This paper describes a hybrid approach of Fuzzy C-means clustering and Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed that provides better accuracy & increases the intrusion detection rate. This approach provides better accuracy of detection as compared to K-means and FCM Clustering. With this proposed approach intrusion detection rate is improved considerably.A brief overview of a hybrid approach of genet...

Fuzzy C-means Clustering algorithm (FCM) is a method that is frequently used in pattern recognition. It has the advantage of giving good modeling results in many cases, although, it is not capable of specifying the number of clusters by itself. In FCM algorithm most researchers fix weighting exponent (m) to a conventional value of 2 which might not be the appropriate for all applications. Conse...

fuzzy clustering methods are conveniently employed in constructing a fuzzy model of a system, but they need to tune some parameters. in this research, fcm is chosen for fuzzy clustering. parameters such as the number of clusters and the value of fuzzifier significantly influence the extent of generalization of the fuzzy model. these two parameters require tuning to reduce the overfitting in the...

In this work, performance of the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm which is a recently proposed algorithm, has been tested on fuzzy clustering. We applied the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm fuzzy clustering to classify different data sets; Cancer, Diabetes and Heart from UCI database, a collection of classification benchmark problems. The results indicate that the performance of Artificial...

Clustering is one of the most fundamental algorithms which have got huge applications especially in the area of Neuro Fuzzy Systems, Data Analysis, Linear Vector Quantization, Bio-informatics etc. Various approaches exist for clustering of data. A few of the commonly used approaches are K-Means clustering, Fuzzy C-Means Clustering, Subtractive Clustering, etc. Clustering may involve varied uses...

The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...

Databases of molecular structures available to the pharmaceutical industry comprise millions of molecules. With the advent of combinatorial chemistry, a vast number of compounds can be available either physically or virtually, which can make screening all of them infeasible in terms of time and cost. Therefore, only a subset of the entire database that encompasses the full range of structural t...

This paper introduces a novel intuitionistic fuzzy set-based heuristic algorithm of possibilistic clustering. For the purpose, some remarks on the fuzzy approach to clustering are discussed and a brief review of intuitionistic fuzzy set-based clustering procedures is given, basic concepts of the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory and the intuitionistic fuzzy generalization of the heuristic approac...
