Multiple Clusters

Developing Data Clustering algorithms have been pursued by researchers since the introduction of k-means algorithm (Macqueen 1967; Lloyd 1982). These algorithms were subsequently modified to handle categorical data. In order to handle the situations where objects can have memberships in multiple clusters, fuzzy clustering and rough clustering methods were introduced (Lingras et al 2003, 2004a). There are many extensions of these initial algorithms (Lingras et al 2004b; Lingras 2007; Mitra 2004; Peters 2006, 2007). The MMR algorithm (Parmar et al 2007), its extensions (Tripathy et al 2009, 2011a, 2011b) and the MADE algorithm (Herawan et al 2010) use rough set techniques for clustering. In this chapter, the authors focus on rough set based clustering algorithms and provide a comparative study of all the fuzzy set based and rough set based clustering algorithms in terms of their efficiency. They also present problems for future studies in the direction of the topics covered.

Clustering Data

Swarm intelligence has appeared as an active field for solving numerous machine-learning tasks. In this paper, we address the problem of clustering data with missing values, where the patterns are described by mixed (or hybrid) features. We introduce a generic modification to three swarm intelligence algorithms (Artificial Bee Colony, Firefly Algorithm, and Novel Bat Algorithm). We experimentally obtain the adequate values of the parameters for these three modified algorithms, with the purpose of applying them in the clustering task. We also provide an unbiased comparison among several metaheuristics based clustering algorithms, concluding that the clusters obtained by our proposals are highly representative of the “natural structure” of data.

New Algorithms

Data clustering plays a very important role in Data mining, machine learning and Image processing areas. As modern day databases have inherent uncertainties, many uncertainty-based data clustering algorithms have been developed in this direction. These algorithms are fuzzy c-means, rough c-means, intuitionistic fuzzy c-means and the means like rough fuzzy c-means, rough intuitionistic fuzzy c-means which base on hybrid models. Also, we find many variants of these algorithms which improve them in different directions like their Kernelised versions, possibilistic versions, and possibilistic Kernelised versions. However, all the above algorithms are not effective on big data for various reasons. So, researchers have been trying for the past few years to improve these algorithms in order they can be applied to cluster big data. The algorithms are relatively few in comparison to those for datasets of reasonable size. It is our aim in this chapter to present the uncertainty based clustering algorithms developed so far and proposes a few new algorithms which can be developed further.

Feature-based semantic measurements have played a dominant role in conventional data clustering algorithms for many existing applications. However, the applicability of existing data clustering approaches to a wider range of applications is limited due to issues such as complexity involved in semantic computation, long pre-processing time required for feature preparation, and poor extensibility of semantic measurement due to non-incremental feature source. This chapter first summarises the many commonly used clustering algorithms and feature-based semantic measurements, and then highlights the shortcomings to make way for the proposal of an adaptive clustering approach based on featureless semantic measurements. The chapter concludes with experiments demonstrating the performance and wide applicability of the proposed clustering approach.

Big Data Technologies

Due to the massive data increase in different Internet of Things (IoT) domains such as healthcare IoT and Smart City IoT, Big Data technologies have been emerged as critical analytics tools for analyzing the IoT data. Among the Big Data technologies, data clustering is one of the essential approaches to process the IoT data. However, how to select a suitable clustering algorithm for IoT data is still unclear. Furthermore, since Big Data technology are still in its initial stage for different IoT domains, it is thus valuable to propose and structure the research challenges between Big Data and IoT. Therefore, this article starts by reviewing and comparing the data clustering algorithms that can be applied in IoT datasets, and then extends the discussions to a broader IoT context such as IoT dynamics and IoT mobile networks. Finally, this article identifies a set of research challenges that harvest a research roadmap for the Big Data research in IoT domains. The proposed research roadmap aims at bridging the research gaps between Big Data and various IoT contexts.
