Extension of K-Modes Algorithm for Generating Clusters Automatically

چکیده
K-Modes is an eminent algorithm for clustering data set with categorical attributes. This algorithm is famous for its simplicity and speed. The KModes is an extension of the K-Means algorithm for categorical data. Since K-Modes is used for categorical data so ‘Simple Matching Dissimilarity’ measure is used instead of Euclidean distance and the ‘Modes’ of clusters are used instead of ‘Means’. However, one major limitation of this algorithm is dependency on prior input of number of clusters K, and sometimes it becomes practically impossible to correctly estimate the optimum number of clusters in advance. In this paper we have proposed an algorithm which will overcome this limitation while maintaining the simplicity of K-Modes algorithm.

The detection and prevention of crime, in the past few decades, required several years of research and analysis. However, today, thanks to smart systems based on data mining techniques, it is possible to detect and prevent crime in a considerably less time. Classification and clustering-based smart techniques can classify and cluster the crime-related samples. The most important factor in the c...

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...

In the real world clustering problems, it is often encountered to perform cluster analysis on data sets with mixed numeric and categorical values. However, most existing clustering algorithms are only efficient for the numeric data rather than the mixed data set. In addition, traditional methods, for example, the K-means algorithm, usually ask the user to provide the number of clusters. In this...
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...
