Rotary kiln is important equipment in heavy industries and its calcination process is the key impact to the product quality. Due to the difficulty in obtaining the accurate algebraic model of the calcination process, an intelligent modeling method based on ANFIS and clustering algorithms is studied. In the model, ANFIS is employed as the core structure, and aiming to improve both its performance in reduced computation and accuracy, a novel hybrid clustering algorithm is proposed by combining FCM and Subtractive methods. A quasi-random data set is then hired to test the new hybrid clustering algorithm and results indicate its superiority to FCM and Subtractive methods. Further, a set of data from the successful control activity of sophisticated workers in manufacturing field is used to train the model, and the model demonstrates its advantages in both fast convergence and more accuracy approaching.

Most traditional clustering algorithms are limited to handle data sets that contain either continuous or categorical variables. However data sets with mixed types of variables are commonly used in data mining field. In this paper we introduce a weighted self-organizing map for clustering, analysis and visualization mixed data (continuous/binary). The learning of weights and prototypes is done in a simultaneous manner assuring an optimized data clustering. More variables has a high weight, more the clustering algorithm will take into account the informations transmitted by these variables. The learning of these topological maps is combined with a weighting process of different variables by computing weights which influence the quality of clustering. We illustrate the power of this method with data sets taken from a public data set repository: a handwritten digit data set, Zoo data set and other three mixed data sets. The results show a good quality of the topological ordering and homogenous clustering.

Source Of Information

An electronic navigational chart is a major source of information for the navigator. The component that contributes most significantly to the safety of navigation on water is the information on the depth of an area. For the purposes of this article, the authors use data obtained by the interferometric sonar GeoSwath Plus. The data were collected in the area of the Port of Szczecin. The samples constitute large sets of data. Data reduction is a procedure to reduce the size of a data set to make it easier and more effective to analyse. The main objective of the authors is the compilation of a new reduction algorithm for bathymetric data. The clustering of data is the first part of the search algorithm. The next step consists of generalisation of bathymetric data. This article presents a comparison and analysis of results of clustering bathymetric data using the following selected methods:K-means clustering algorithm, traditional hierarchical clustering algorithms and self-organising map (using artificial neural networks).

The increasing amount of information acquired by imaging sensors in Earth Sciences results in the availability of a multitude of complementary data (e.g., spectral, spatial, elevation) for monitoring of the Earth’s surface. Many studies were devoted to investigating the usage of multi-sensor data sets in the performance of supervised learning-based approaches at various tasks (i.e., classification and regression) while unsupervised learning-based approaches have received less attention. In this paper, we propose a new approach to fuse multiple data sets from imaging sensors using a multi-sensor sparse-based clustering algorithm (Multi-SSC). A technique for the extraction of spatial features (i.e., morphological profiles (MPs) and invariant attribute profiles (IAPs)) is applied to high spatial-resolution data to derive the spatial and contextual information. This information is then fused with spectrally rich data such as multi- or hyperspectral data. In order to fuse multi-sensor data sets a hierarchical sparse subspace clustering approach is employed. More specifically, a lasso-based binary algorithm is used to fuse the spectral and spatial information prior to automatic clustering. The proposed framework ensures that the generated clustering map is smooth and preserves the spatial structures of the scene. In order to evaluate the generalization capability of the proposed approach, we investigate its performance not only on diverse scenes but also on different sensors and data types. The first two data sets are geological data sets, which consist of hyperspectral and RGB data. The third data set is the well-known benchmark Trento data set, including hyperspectral and LiDAR data. Experimental results indicate that this novel multi-sensor clustering algorithm can provide an accurate clustering map compared to the state-of-the-art sparse subspace-based clustering algorithms.

Clustering Problems

Due to many of the clustering algorithms based on GAs suffer from degeneracy and are easy to fall in local optima, a novel dynamic genetic algorithm for clustering problems (DGA) is proposed. The algorithm adopted the variable length coding to represent individuals and processed the parallel crossover operation in the subpopulation with individuals of the same length, which allows the DGA algorithm clustering to explore the search space more effectively and can automatically obtain the proper number of clusters and the proper partition from a given data set; the algorithm used the dynamic crossover probability and adaptive mutation probability, which prevented the dynamic clustering algorithm from getting stuck at a local optimal solution. The clustering results in the experiments on three artificial data sets and two real-life data sets show that the DGA algorithm derives better performance and higher accuracy on clustering problems.

Existing clustering algorithms, such as single-link clustering, k-means, CURE, and CSM are designed to find clusters based on predefined parameters specified by users. These algorithms may be unsuccessful if the choice of parameters is inappropriate with respect to the data set being clustered. Most of these algorithms work very well for compact and hyper-spherical clusters. In this paper, a new hybrid clustering algorithm called Self-Partition and Self-Merging (SPSM) is proposed. The SPSM algorithm partitions the input data set into several subclusters in the first phase and, then, removes the noisy data in the second phase. In the third phase, the normal subclusters are continuously merged to form the larger clusters based on the inter-cluster distance and intra-cluster distance criteria. From the experimental results, the SPSM algorithm is very efficient to handle the noisy data set, and to cluster the data sets of arbitrary shapes of different density. Several examples for color image show the versatility of the proposed method and compare with results described in the literature for the same images. The computational complexity of the SPSM algorithm is O(N2), where N is the number of data points.

Graph Based Clustering

During the past few years, semi-supervised clustering has emerged as a new interesting direction in machine learning research. In a semi-supervised clustering algorithm, the clustering results can be significantly improved by using side information, which is available or collected from users. There are two main kinds of side information that can be learned in semi-supervised clustering algorithms: the class labels - called seeds or the pairwise constraints. The first semi-supervised clustering was introduced in 2000, and since that, many algorithms have been presented in literature. However, it is not easy to use both types of side information in the same algorithm. To address the problem, this paper proposes a semi-supervised graph based clustering algorithm that tries to use seeds and constraints in the clustering process, called MCSSGC. Moreover, we introduces a simple but efficient active learning method to collect the constraints that can boost the performance of MCSSGC, named KMMFFQS. In order to verify effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we conducted a series of experiments not only on real data sets from UCI, but also on a document data set applied in an Information Extraction of Vietnamese documents. These obtained results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the clustering process compared to some recent algorithms.

This work aims to expand the knowledge of the area of data analysis through both persistence homology, as well as representations of directed graphs. To be specific, we looked for how we can analyze homology cluster groups using agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering algorithms and methods. Additionally, the Wine data, which is offered in R studio, was analyzed using various cluster algorithms such as Hierarchical Clustering, K-Means Clustering, and PAM Clustering. The goal of the analysis was to find out which cluster's method is proper for a given numerical data set. By testing the data, we tried to find the agglomerative hierarchical clustering method that will be the optimal clustering algorithm among these three; K-Means, PAM, and Random Forest methods. By comparing each model's accuracy value with cultivar coefficients, we came with a conclusion that K-Means methods are the most helpful when working with numerical variables. On the other hand, PAM clustering and Gower with random forest are the most beneficial approaches when working with categorical variables. All these tests can determine the optimal number of clustering groups, given the data set, and by doing the proper analysis. Using those the project, we can apply our method to several industrial areas such that clinical, business, and others. For example, people can make different groups based on each patient who has a common disease, required therapy, and other things in the clinical society. Additionally, for the business area, people can expect to get several clustered groups based on the marginal profit, marginal cost, or other economic indicators.

Cluster analysis is a branch of data mining, which plays a vital role in bringing out hidden information in databases. Clustering algorithms help medical researchers in identifying the presence of natural subgroups in a data set. Different types of clustering algorithms are available in the literature. The most popular among them is k-means clustering. Even though k-means clustering is a popular clustering method widely used, its application requires the knowledge of the number of clusters present in the given data set. Several solutions are available in literature to overcome this limitation. The k-means clustering method creates a disjoint and exhaustive partition of the data set. However, in some situations one can come across objects that belong to more than one cluster. In this paper, a clustering algorithm capable of producing rough clusters automatically without requiring the user to give as input the number of clusters to be produced. The efficiency of the algorithm in detecting the number of clusters present in the data set has been studied with the help of some real life data sets. Further, a nonparametric statistical analysis on the results of the experimental study has been carried out in order to analyze the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in automatic detection of the number of clusters in the data set with the help of rough version of Davies-Bouldin index.

Clustering is a representative of unsupervised learning and one of the important approaches in exploratory data analysis. By its very nature, clustering without strong assumption on data distribution is desirable. Information-theoretic clustering is a class of clustering methods that optimize information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information. These quantities can be estimated in a nonparametric manner, and information-theoretic clustering algorithms are capable of capturing various intrinsic data structures. It is also possible to estimate information-theoretic quantities using a data set with sampling weight for each datum. Assuming the data set is sampled from a certain cluster and assigning different sampling weights depending on the clusters, the cluster-conditional information-theoretic quantities are estimated. In this letter, a simple iterative clustering algorithm is proposed based on a nonparametric estimator of the log likelihood for weighted data sets. The clustering algorithm is also derived from the principle of conditional entropy minimization with maximum entropy regularization. The proposed algorithm does not contain a tuning parameter. The algorithm is experimentally shown to be comparable to or outperform conventional nonparametric clustering methods.
