A Study on Clustering Method by Self-Organizing Map and Information Criteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a clustering method by SOM and information criteria. In this method, initial cluster-candidates are derived by SOM, and then these candidates are merged appropriately based on information criterion such as BIC or AIC (Akaike Information Criterion). Through the clustering experiments for the artificial datasets and UCI Machine Learning Repository’s datasets, we confirm that our proposed method can extract clusters more accurately and stably than the SOMonly method.

Uncertainty Modeling of a Group Tourism Recommendation System Based on Pearson Similarity Criteria, Bayesian Network and Self-Organizing Map Clustering Algorithm
Group tourism is one of the most important tasks in tourist recommender systems. These systems, despite of the potential contradictions among the group's tastes, seek to provide joint suggestions to all members of the group, and propose recommendations that would allow the satisfaction of a group of users rather than individual user satisfaction. Another issue that has received less attention i...
متن کاملNGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
