A GRASP Algorithm for Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new approach for Cluster Analysis based on a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP), with the objective of overcoming the convergence to a local solution. It uses a probabilistic greedy Kaufman initialization for getting initial solutions and K-Means algorithm as a local search algorithm. We compare it with some typical initialization methods: Random, Forgy, Macqueen and Kaufman. The new approach obtains high quality solutions for the benchmark problems.

متن کاملA Fuzzy C-means Algorithm for Clustering Fuzzy Data and Its Application in Clustering Incomplete Data
The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...
متن کاملAn Improved SSPCO Optimization Algorithm for Solve of the Clustering Problem
Swarm Intelligence (SI) is an innovative artificial intelligence technique for solving complex optimization problems. Data clustering is the process of grouping data into a number of clusters. The goal of data clustering is to make the data in the same cluster share a high degree of similarity while being very dissimilar to data from other clusters. Clustering algorithms have been applied to a ...

The detection and prevention of crime, in the past few decades, required several years of research and analysis. However, today, thanks to smart systems based on data mining techniques, it is possible to detect and prevent crime in a considerably less time. Classification and clustering-based smart techniques can classify and cluster the crime-related samples. The most important factor in the c...
متن کاملA Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...
