In this article, a new genetic clustering algorithm called the Improved Hybrid Genetic Clustering Algorithm (IHGCA) is proposed to deal with the clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares clustering. In IHGCA, the improvement operation including five local iteration methods is developed to tune the individual and accelerate the convergence speed of the clustering algorithm, and the partition-absorption mutation operation is designed to reassign objects among different clusters. By experimental simulations, its superiority over some known genetic clustering methods is demonstrated.

This paper proposes three ant clustering algorithms (ACAs): ACA-1, ACA-2 and ACA-3. The core logic of the proposed ACAs is to modify the ant colony metaheuristic by reformulating the clustering problem into a network problem. For a clustering problem of N objects and K clusters, a fully connected network of N nodes is formed with link costs, representing the dissimilarity of any two nodes it connects. K ants are then to collect their own nodes according to the link costs and following the pheromone trail laid by previous ants. The proposed three ACAs have been validated on a small-scale problem solved by a total enumeration method. The solution effectiveness at different problem scales consistently shows that ACA-2 outperforms among these three ACAs. A further comparison of ACA-2 with other commonly used clustering methods, including agglomerative hierarchy clustering algorithm (AHCA), K-means algorithm (KMA) and genetic clustering algorithm (GCA), shows that ACA-2 significantly outperforms them in solution effectiveness for the most of cases and also performs considerably better in solution stability as the problem scales or the number of clusters gets larger.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the l1-clustering problem for a finite data-point set which should be partitioned into k disjoint nonempty subsets. In that case, the objective function does not have to be either convex or differentiable, and generally it may have many local or global minima. Therefore, it becomes a complex global optimization problem. A method of searching for a locally optimal solution is proposed in the paper, the convergence of the corresponding iterative process is proved and the corresponding algorithm is given. The method is illustrated by and compared with some other clustering methods, especially with the l2-clustering method, which is also known in the literature as a smooth k-means method, on a few typical situations, such as the presence of outliers among the data and the clustering of incomplete data. Numerical experiments show in this case that the proposed l1-clustering algorithm is faster and gives significantly better results than the l2-clustering algorithm.

Image processing technique in general, involves the application of signal processing on the input image for isolating the individual color plane of an image. It plays an important role in the image analysis and computer version. This paper compares the efficiency of two approaches in the area of finding breast cancer in medical image processing. The fundamental target is to apply an image mining in the area of medical image handling utilizing grouping guideline created by genetic algorithm. The parameter using extracted border, the border pixels are considered as population strings to genetic algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization, to find out the optimum value from the border pixels. We likewise look at cost of ACO and GA also, endeavors to discover which one gives the better solution to identify an affected area in medical image based on computational time.

Mining Model

Background: For almost every domain, a tremendous degree of data is accessible in an online and offline mode. Billions of users are daily posting their views or opinions by using different online applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Instagram etc. Objective: These reviews are constructive for the progress of the venture, civilization, state and even nation. However, this momentous amount of information is useful only if it is collectively and effectively mined. Methodology: Opinion mining is used to extract the thoughts, expression, emotions, critics, appraisal from the data posted by different persons. It is one of the prevailing research techniques that coalesce and employ the features from natural language processing. Here, an amalgamated approach has been employed to mine online reviews. Results: To improve the results of genetic algorithm based opining mining patent, here, a hybrid genetic algorithm and ontology based 3-tier natural language processing framework named GAO_NLP_OM has been designed. First tier is used for preprocessing and corrosion of the sentences. Middle tier is composed of genetic algorithm based searching module, ontology for English sentences, base words for the review, complete set of English words with item and their features. Genetic algorithm is used to expedite the polarity mining process. The last tier is liable for semantic, discourse and feature summarization. Furthermore, the use of ontology assists in progressing more accurate opinion mining model. Conclusion: GAO_NLP_OM is supposed to improve the performance of genetic algorithm based opinion mining patent. The amalgamation of genetic algorithm, ontology and natural language processing seems to produce fast and more precise results. The proposed framework is able to mine simple as well as compound sentences. However, affirmative preceded interrogative, hidden feature and mixed language sentences still be a challenge for the proposed framework.
