Soft Rank Clustering

چکیده
Clustering methods provide an useful tool to tackle the problem of exploring large-dimensional data. However many common approaches suffer from being applied in high-dimensional spaces. Building on a dissimilarity-based representation of data, we propose a dimensionality reduction technique which preserves the clustering structure of the data. The technique is designed for cases in which data dimensionality is large compared to the number of available observations. In these cases, we represent data in the space of soft D-ranks, by applying the concept of fuzzy ranking. A clustering procedure is then applied. Experimental results show that the method is able to retain the necessary information, while considerably reducing dimensionality.

UCTTP is a NP-hard problem, which must be performed for each semester frequently. The major technique in the presented approach would be analyzing data to resolve uncertainties of lecturers’ preferences and constraints within a department in order to obtain a ranking for each lecturer based on their requirements within a department where it is attempted to increase their satisfaction and develo...
متن کاملNew distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy soft sets
The hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS), as a combination of hesitant fuzzy and soft sets, is regarded as a useful tool for dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity of real-world problems. In HFSSs, each element is defined in terms of several parameters with arbitrary membership degrees. In addition, distance and similarity measures are considered as the important tools in different areas such as ...

متن کاملEntropy-based Consensus for Distributed Data Clustering
The increasingly larger scale of available data and the more restrictive concerns on their privacy are some of the challenging aspects of data mining today. In this paper, Entropy-based Consensus on Cluster Centers (EC3) is introduced for clustering in distributed systems with a consideration for confidentiality of data; i.e. it is the negotiations among local cluster centers that are used in t...
متن کاملRanking Overlap and Outlier Points in Data using Soft Kernel Spectral Clustering
Soft clustering algorithms can handle real-life datasets better as they capture the presence of inherent overlapping clusters. A soft kernel spectral clustering (SKSC) method proposed in [1] exploited the eigen-projections of the points to assign them different cluster membership probabilities. In this paper, we detect points in dense overlapping regions as overlap points. We also identify the ...
