A hierarchical clustering approach is proposed for reducing the number of focal elements in a crisp or fuzzy belief function, yielding strong inner and outer approximations. At each step of the proposed algorithm, two focal elements are merged, and the mass is transfered to their intersection or their union. The resulting approximations allow the calculation of lower and upper bounds on the belief and plausibility degrees induced by the conjunctive or disjunctive sum of any number of belief structures. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

Clustering is well-known unsupervised learning method. In clustering a set of essentials is separated into uniform groups.K-means is one of the most popular partition based clustering algorithms in the area of research. But in the original K-means the quality of the resulting clusters mostly depends on the selection of initial centroids, so number of iterations is increase and take more time because of that it is computationally expensive. There are so many methods have been proposed for improving accuracy, performance and efficiency of the k-means clustering algorithm. This paper proposed enhanced K-Means Clustering approach in addition to Collaborative filtering approach to recommend quality content to its users. This research would help those users who have to scroll through pages of results to find important content.
