Weighted K-Means for Density-Biased Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clustering is a task of grouping data based on similarity. A popular k-means algorithm groups data by firstly assigning all data points to the closest clusters, then determining the cluster means. The algorithm repeats these two steps until it has converged. We propose a variation called weighted k-means to improve the clustering scalability. To speed up the clustering process, we develop the reservoir-biased sampling as an efficient data reduction technique since it performs a single scan over a data set. Our algorithm has been designed to group data of mixture models. We present an experimental evaluation of the proposed method.

Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Nowadays, the Fuzzy C-Means method has become one of the most popular clustering methods based on minimization of a criterion function. However, the performance of this clustering algorithm may be significantly degraded in the presence of noise. This paper presents a robust clustering algorithm called Bilateral Weighted Fuzzy CMeans (BWFCM). We used a new objective function that uses some k...
متن کاملWeighted Ensemble Clustering for Increasing the Accuracy of the Final Clustering
Clustering algorithms are highly dependent on different factors such as the number of clusters, the specific clustering algorithm, and the used distance measure. Inspired from ensemble classification, one approach to reduce the effect of these factors on the final clustering is ensemble clustering. Since weighting the base classifiers has been a successful idea in ensemble classification, in th...

متن کاملImprovement of density-based clustering algorithm using modifying the density definitions and input parameter
Clustering is one of the main tasks in data mining, which means grouping similar samples. In general, there is a wide variety of clustering algorithms. One of these categories is density-based clustering. Various algorithms have been proposed for this method; one of the most widely used algorithms called DBSCAN. DBSCAN can identify clusters of different shapes in the dataset and automatically i...
