An Iterated Local Search Approach for Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
Since minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is an NP hard combinatorial optimization problem, applying techniques from global optimization appears to be promising for reliably clustering numerical data. In this paper, concepts of combinatorial heuristic optimization are considered for approaching the MSSC: An iterated local search (ILS) approach is proposed which is capable of finding (near-)optimum solutions very quickly. On gene expression data resulting from biological microarray experiments, it is shown that ILS outperforms multi–start k-means as well as three other clustering heuristics combined with k-means.

An Incremental DC Algorithm for the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Here, an algorithm is presented for solving the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problems using their difference of convex representations. The proposed algorithm is based on an incremental approach and applies the well known DC algorithm at each iteration. The proposed algorithm is tested and compared with other clustering algorithms using large real world data sets.
متن کاملTabu-KM: A Hybrid Clustering Algorithm Based on Tabu Search Approach
The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often falls into these trap and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm is developed for solving this problem, called Tabu-KM. It gathers the ...

متن کاملA novel local search method for microaggregation
In this paper, we propose an effective microaggregation algorithm to produce a more useful protected data for publishing. Microaggregation is mapped to a clustering problem with known minimum and maximum group size constraints. In this scheme, the goal is to cluster n records into groups of at least k and at most 2k_1 records, such that the sum of the within-group squ...
