Cluster Validity Analysis of Alternative Results from Multi-Objective Optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates validity analysis of alternative clustering results obtained using the algorithm named Multiobjective K-Means Genetic Algorithm (MOKGA). The reported results are promising. MOKGA gives the optimal number of clusters as a solution set. The achieved clustering results are then analyzed and validated under several cluster validity techniques proposed in the literature. The optimal clusters are ranked for each validity index. The approach is tested by conducting experiments using three well-known data sets. The obtained results for each dataset are compared with those reported in the literature to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A Multi-Objective Approach to Fuzzy Clustering using ITLBO Algorithm
Data clustering is one of the most important areas of research in data mining and knowledge discovery. Recent research in this area has shown that the best clustering results can be achieved using multi-objective methods. In other words, assuming more than one criterion as objective functions for clustering data can measurably increase the quality of clustering. In this study, a model with two ...
