Clustering is the process of arranging comparable data elements into groups. One of the most frequent data mining analytical techniques is clustering analysis; the clustering algorithm’s strategy has a direct influence on the clustering results. This study examines the many types of algorithms, such as k-means clustering algorithms, and compares and contrasts their advantages and disadvantages. This paper also highlights concerns with clustering algorithms, such as time complexity and accuracy, in order to give better outcomes in a variety of environments. The outcomes are described in terms of big datasets. The focus of this study is on clustering algorithms with the WEKA data mining tool. Clustering is the process of dividing a big data set into small groups or clusters. Clustering is an unsupervised approach that may be used to analyze big datasets with many characteristics. It’s a data-modeling technique that provides a clear image of your data. Two clustering methods, k-means and hierarchical clustering, are explained in this survey and their analysis using WEKA tool on different data sets.

AbstractThe reconstruction and analyze of measured data play important role in the research of high energy particle physics. This leads to new results in both experimental and theoretical physics. This requires algorithm improvements and high computer capacity. Clustering algorithm makes it possible to get to know the jet structure more accurately. More granular parallelization of the kt cluster algorithms was explored by combining it with the hierarchical clustering methods used in network evaluations. The kt method allows to know the development of particles due to the collision of high-energy nucleus-nucleus. The hierarchical clustering algorithms works on graphs, so the particle information used by the standard kt algorithm was first transformed into an appropriate graph, representing the network of particles. Testing was done using data samples from the Alice offine library, which contains the required modules to simulate the ALICE detector that is a dedicated Pb-Pb detector. The proposed algorithm was compared to the FastJet toolkit's standard longitudinal invariant kt implementation. Parallelizing the standard non-optimized version of this algorithm utilizing the available CPU architecture proved to be 1:6 times faster, than the standard implementation, while the proposed solution in this paper was able to achieve a 12 times faster computing performance, also being scalable enough to efficiently run on GPUs.

Big Data is a popular cutting-edge technology nowadays. Techniques and algorithms are expanding in different areas including engineering, biomedical, and business. Due to the high-volume and complexity of Big Data, it is necessary to conduct data pre-processing methods when data mining. The pre-processing methods include data cleaning, data integration, data reduction, and data transformation. Data clustering is the most important step of data reduction. With data clustering, mining on the reduced data set should be more efficient yet produce quality analytical results. This paper presents the different data clustering methods and related algorithms for data mining with Big Data. Data clustering can increase the efficiency and accuracy of data mining.

Clustering is a type of mining process where the data set is categorized into various sub classes. Clustering process is very much essential in classification, grouping, and exploratory pattern of analysis, image segmentation and decision making. And we can explain about the big data as very large data sets which are examined computationally to show techniques and associations and also which is associated to the human behavior and their interactions. Big data is very essential for several organisations but in few cases very complex to store and it is also time saving. Hence one of the ways of overcoming these issues is to develop the many clustering methods, moreover it suffers from the large complexity. Data mining is a type of technique where the useful information is extracted, but the data mining models cannot utilized for the big data because of inherent complexity. The main scope here is to introducing a overview of data clustering divisions for the big data And also explains here few of the related work for it. This survey concentrates on the research of several clustering algorithms which are working basically on the elements of big data. And also the short overview of clustering algorithms which are grouped under partitioning, hierarchical, grid based and model based are seenClustering is major data mining and it is used for analyzing the big data.the problems for applying clustering patterns to big data and also we phase new issues come up with big data

DNA microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expression levels of thousands of genes during biological processes and across collections of related samples. However, the large number of genes and the complexity of biological networks greatly increase the challenges of comprehending and interpreting the resulting mass of data, which often consists of millions of measurements. A first step toward addressing this challenge is the use of clustering techniques, which is essential in the data mining process to reveal natural structures and identify interesting patterns in the underlying data. Cluster analysis seeks to partition a given data set into groups based on specified features so that the data points within a group are more similar to each other than the points in different groups. Many conventional clustering algorithms have been adapted or directly applied to gene expression data, and also new algorithms have recently been proposed specifically aiming at gene expression data. These clustering algorithms have been proven useful for identifying biologically relevant groups of genes and samples. A large number of clustering approaches have been proposed for the analysis of gene expression data obtained from microarray experiments. However, the results of the application of standard clustering methods to genes are limited. These limited results are imposed by the existence of a number of experimental conditions where the activity of genes is uncorrelated. A similar limitation exists when clustering of conditions is performed. For this reason, a number of algorithms that perform simultaneous clustering on the row and column dimensions of the gene expression matrix have been proposed to date. This simultaneous clustering, usually designated by biclustering, seeks to find submatrices that are subgroups of genes and subgroups of columns, where the genes exhibit highly correlated activities for every condition. This type of algorithms has also been proposed and used in other fields, such as information retrieval and data mining. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the concepts of microarray technology and discuss the basic elements of clustering on gene expression data. Then, we present specific challenges pertinent to each clustering category and introduce several representative approaches.

Clustering is a fundamental technique in data mining and machine learning. Recently, many researchers are interested in the problem of clustering categorical data and several new approaches have been proposed. One of the successful and pioneering clustering algorithms is the Minimum-Minimum Roughness algorithm (MMR) which is a top-down hierarchical clustering algorithm and can handle the uncertainty in clustering categorical data. However, MMR tends to choose the category with less value leaf node with more objects, leading to undesirable clustering results. To overcome such shortcomings, this paper proposes an improved version of the MMR algorithm for clustering categorical data, called IMMR (Improved Minimum-Minimum Roughness). Experimental results on actual data sets taken from UCI show that the IMMR algorithm outperforms MMR in clustering categorical data.

Clustering student data is a central task in the educational data mining and design of intelligent learning tools. The problem is that there are thousands of clustering algorithms but no general guidelines about which method to choose. The optimal choice is of course problem- and data-dependent and can seldom be found without trying several methods. Still, the purposes of clustering students and the typical features of educational data make certain clustering methods more suitable or attractive. In this chapter, the authors evaluate the main clustering methods from this perspective. Based on the analysis, the authors suggest the most promising clustering methods for different situations.
