Fuzzy Agglomerative Clustering
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we describe fuzzy agglomerative clustering, a brand new fuzzy clustering algorithm. The basic idea of the proposed algorithm is based on the well-known hierarchical clustering methods. To achieve the soft or fuzzy output of the hierarchical clustering, we combine the single-linkage and completelinkage strategy together with a fuzzy distance. As the algorithm was created recently, we cover only some basic experiments on synthetic data to show some properties of the algorithm. The reference implementation is freely available.

A Neuro-Fuzzy Approach to Agglomerative Clustering
In this paper, we introduce a new agglomerative clustering algorithm in which eadl pal.tcIIi duster is represented by a collection of fmzy hyperboxes. Initially, a number of such hyperboxes arc calculated to represent the pattern samples. Then, the algorithm applies multi-resolution techniqlle.'i to progressively "combine~ these hyperboxes in a hierarchial manner. Stich an agglomerative scheme ...
متن کاملAgglomerative Learning Algorithms for General Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network
In this paper two agglomerative learning algorithms based on new similarity measures defined for hyperbox fuzzy sets are proposed. They are presented in a context of clustering and classification problems tackled using a general fuzzy min-max (GFMM) neural network. The proposed agglomerative schemes have shown robust behaviour in presence of noise and outliers and insensitivity to the order of ...
متن کاملAgglomerative Hierarchical Approach for Clustering Components of Similar Reusability
This paper presents a clustering approach for grouping components of similar reusability using an already worked out fuzzy data set [2]. Research has shown that, component based systems development concept benefits the object oriented software development. A Component based system achieves flexibility by clearly separating the stable parts of systems from the specification of their composition....
متن کاملAn overview and new methods in fuzzy clustering
Principal methods in nonhierarchical and hierarchical fuzzy clustering are overviewed. In particular, the method of fuzzy c-means is focused upon and recent algorithms in fuzzy c-means are described. It is shown that the concept of regularization plays an important role in the fuzzy c-means. Classification functions induced from fuzzy clustering are discussed and variations of the standard fuzz...

In this research paper, an agglomerative mean shift with fuzzy clustering algorithm for numerical data and image data, an extension to the standard fuzzy C-Means algorithm by introducing a penalty term to the objective function to make the clustering process not sensitive to the initial cluster centers. The new algorithm of Shortest path and Fuzzification algorithm can produce more consistent c...
