OPTIMIZATION OF FUZZY CLUSTERING CRITERIA BY A HYBRID PSO AND FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM
Authors
Abstract:
This paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (FPSO) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. When the problem becomes large, theFCM algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. The PSO algorithm does find agood or near-optimal solution in reasonable time, but we show that its performancemay be improved by seeding the initial swarm with the result of the c-meansalgorithm. Various clustering simulations are experimentally compared with the FCMalgorithm in order to illustrate the efficiency and ability of the proposed algorithms.

The fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is a useful tool for clustering; but it is convenient only for crisp complete data. In this article, an enhancement of the algorithm is proposed which is suitable for clustering trapezoidal fuzzy data. A linear ranking function is used to define a distance for trapezoidal fuzzy data. Then, as an application, a method based on the proposed algorithm is pres...

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...
