Data mining is the process of extracting hidden patterns from huge data. Among the various clustering algorithms, k-means is the one of most widely used clustering technique in data mining. The performance of k-means clustering depends on the initial clusters and might converge to local optimum. K-means does not guarantee the unique clustering because it generates different results with randoml...

A fuzzy-genetic data-mining algorithm for extracting both association rules and membership functions from quantitative transactions is shown in this paper. It used a combination of large 1-itemsets and membershipfunction suitability to evaluate the fitness values of chromosomes. The calculation for large 1itemsets could take a lot of time, especially when the database to be scanned could not to...

Aiming to large-scale Multiple-Depot Food transport Vehicle Routing Problem (MDFVRP), this study proposed an improved genetic algorithm solution frame based on the two-stage fuzzy clustering. In the static upper stage, the k-means technology is used to divide the MDFVRP into several one-to-many sub-problems. From the perspective of improving the customer satisfaction and integrating logistics r...

DNA algorithm and fuzzy evolutionary clustering techniques are used to classify damaged images and to reconstruct the original images. Experimental results show both methods are far more effective than the use of genetic algorithms or c-means clustering. Particularly, the method of fuzzy evolutionary clustering provides very fast convergence and accurate image reconstruction with absolute certa...

A fuzzy clustering algorithm for intrusion detection based on heterogeneous attributes is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the algorithm modifies the comparability measurement for the categorical attributes according to the formula of Hemingway; then, for the shortages of fuzzy Cmeans clustering algorithm: initialize sensitively and easy to get into the local optimum, the presented new algorith...

In this paper, we propose a context-sensitive technique for unsupervised change detection in multitemporal remote sensing images. The technique is based on fuzzy clustering approach and takes care of spatial correlation between neighboring pixels of the difference image produced by comparing two images acquired on the same geographical area at different times. Since the ranges of pixel values o...

In order to solve switching regression problems, many approaches have been investigated. In this paper, an integrated fuzzy clustering algorithm GFC that combines gravity-based clustering algorithm GC with fuzzy clustering is presented. GC, as a new hard clustering algorithm presented here, is based on the well-known Newton’s Gravity Law. The theoretic analysis shows that GFC can converge to a ...

  The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...

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...

Fuzzy clustering algorithm can not obtain good clustering effect when the sample characteristic is not obvious and need to determine the number of clusters firstly. For thi0s reason, this paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy kernel clustering algorithm. The algorithm firstly use the adaptive function of clustering number to calculate the optimal clustering number, then the samples of input space is...
