Semi-fuzzy and robust semi-fuzzy clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Allowing the similarity measure to be negative, this paper generalizes the clustering model to include not only the traditional hard and fuzzy clustering but also a new semi-fuzzy clustering. Then the robust semi-fuzzy clustering is introduced and used for brain MR image segmentation.

Clustering documents with labeled and unlabeled documents using fuzzy semi-Kmeans
While focusing on document clustering, this work presents a fuzzy semi-supervised clustering algorithm called fuzzy semi-Kmeans. The fuzzy semi-Kmeans is an extension of K-means clustering model, and it is inspired by an EM algorithm and a Gaussian mixture model. Additionally, the fuzzy semi-Kmeans provides the flexibility to employ different fuzzy membership functions to measure the distance b...
متن کاملSemi-supervised Learning by Fuzzy Clustering and Ensemble Learning
This paper proposes a semi-supervised learning method using Fuzzy clustering to solve word sense disambiguation problems. Furthermore, we reduce side effects of semi-supervised learning by ensemble learning. We set classes for labeled instances. The -th labeled instance is used as the prototype of the -th class. By using Fuzzy clustering for unlabeled instances, prototypes are moved to more sui...
متن کاملAn Improved Semi-supervised Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm
Semi-supervised clustering is an important method which can improve clustering performance by introducing partial supervised information. This paper mainly studies the semi-supervised fuzzy clustering based on Mahalanobis distance and Gaussian Kernel for SCAPC algorithm. Here, we give a new semi-supervised fuzzy clustering objective function. By solving the optimization problem with above objec...
متن کاملA thresholded fuzzy c-means algorithm for semi-fuzzy clustering
In this paper, the problem of achieving 'semi-fuzzy' or 'soft' clustering of multidimensional data is discussed.A technique based on thresholding the results of the fuzzy c-means algorithm is introduced.The proposed approach is analysed and contrasted with the soft clustering method (see S. Z. Selim and M. A. Ismail, Pattern Recognition 17, 559-568) showing the merits of the new method.Separati...
متن کاملEnhancement of fuzzy clustering by mechanisms of partial supervision
Semi-supervised (or partial) fuzzy clustering plays an important and unique role in discovering hidden structure in data realized in presence of a certain quite limited fraction of labeled patterns. The objective of this study is to investigate and quantify the effect of various distance functions (distances) on the performance of the clustering mechanisms. The underlying goal of endowing the c...
